Maigna
It is pointed out that "the primary secu-
rity provided by parliament for these pur-
poses is the net produce of the City's
duty of 44. per ton on mobs brought into
London, continued (by the act abovementioned)
until 5111 July, 1882." This revenue has increased
from 62,3021. in 1855 to 77,6921. in 1864. The
prior charges on the fund now consist of bonds
amounting to 348,0001. (applying to the Cannon-
street improvements) and involving a present annual
charge of 14,2401. for interest, which is progres-
sively diminishing as the capital is paid off; but the
corporation pledge to the loan, in addition, "their
own proper revenues, in value at least 2,000,0001.,
and practically unincumbered."
