Act, not exceeding such sums as shall be specified and determined on,
and limited and directed at the vestry to be assembled for the choice of
such officers, or at any subsequent vestry to be called by the said
officers, shall be raised and levied on the inhabitants of such parish,
in such manner and form as other parochial assessments are raised and
levied, and shall by the said officers of health be applied to the
purposes of this Act; and the expenditure thereof shall be accounted for
by the said officers in such manner as other parochial assessments are
accounted for, and either at such times as other assessments are
accounted for according to law, or at such other times and periods of
the year, and as often from time to time as shall be directed at the
vestry to be assembled for the appointment of such officers, or at any
other vestry to be called by two inhabitants of such parish; and that
copies of all such accounts shall once in every year, before the
twenty-fifth day of _April_ in each year, be transmitted by such

do; and to raise such sum or sums of money, to be levied and accounted
as directed by this Act, in like manner as by this Act is required to be
done in cities and large towns as aforesaid.

think fit so to do; and it shall be lawful for such churchwardens, and
they are hereby authorized and required, to act as such officers of
