"Some idea of the vastness of the municipal undertakings may be gathered
from the fact that in the twelve months from 1st April 1968 the
Corporation expects to spend on revenue and capital account some
£173,000,000 and yet, for the wide range of services provided, the rate
for the year of 13s. 4d. in the pound cannot be regarded as excessive."
(When did the word "Corporation" disappear from everyday use? I
remember Corporation buses in Portsmouth in the 1980s, and the word
sounded old-fashioned then - it was an *old* person's word).
