Appendix IV.: Joint account of Fountain Street and the Market.

has been expended during the Ten years for which the said Duty was

This reply was very favourably received by the States at their Meeting
23rd December 1829 and adopted almost unanimously. One of the Rectors

complaint is directed. "As a wise administrator he has known how to
contrive the means of effecting this great good without imposing the
least tax or inconveniencing his fellow citizens."
