Special Sanitary Precept
The following letter was read which had been received in reply to this Council’s inquiry respecting the Special Sanitary Precept.
Bakewell
4th Jan. 1906
Dear Sir,
Great Longstone Special Precept
In reply to your letter of the 3rd inst I beg to state for the information of your Parish Council that the reason there is at present no great reduction in the Special Precept is because the water rentals are less than the annual cost of maintenance.
The repayment of loans and interest absorbs some £164 each half-year, and after adding the difference between the cost of maintenance and the water rentals, £175 was the lowest call we could make, but I think next half-year we shall be able to make an appreciable reduction in the Call, and thence forward there should be a gradual reduction in the amount of the rate.
Yours faithfully
Alf. Hawes
Mr J. B. Shimwell
Clerk to the Parish Council
Great Longstone
W. R. P. Dixon
Chairman
