The total arrears of recent years' rates amounted to £7OOO, most of which was coming in graduallv. The clerk brought down his estimates for next year, showing expenditure expected to reach £12,510. Recepits and subsidies were estimated to be £27,000, leaving £15.5:5:1, which would be covered by a rate of 3Jd.
