AN EXPENSIVE OFFICE
‘‘A city man,'' writes Peterborough in the Daily Telegraph, ‘‘was explaining to me the other day what it costs to he Lord Mayor of London. The, allowance of £IO,OOO does not nearly cover the expenses of the office, estimates of the actual cost running up to £20,000. An average of double the amount of the allowance may serve as a rough guess, and every farthing over the £IO,OOO must, came out of the pocket of the Chief Magistrate. “The inauguration on November 1) means an outlay of about £4OOO for the procession and banquet. Of this the Lord Mayor pays half, the other half being borne equally by the two sheriffs, as part of their outlay during the year, generally amounting in all to £4OOO or £SOOO.
