'Streets of the said Town,' in which certain rates and duties are granted, which will be found in the first column in the schedule of rates appended hereto.
For the purpose of raising an immediate fund for carrying into execution the improvements contemplated, the corporation of Beverley obtained power to borrow the sum of money they required for this purpose, on assignment of the rates and duties granted. In consequence, however, of the very indifferent state of this navigation, and the insufficiency of the tonnage rates to keep it in proper repair, and repay the interest of the sum of money borrowed on the credit of the tolls, the corporation of Beverley applied for and obtained another act, in 1744, entitled, 'An Act for more effectually cleansing, deepening, widening, and preserving, a Creek, called Beverley Beck, running into the River Hull, and for more effectually repairing the Staiths, near the said Beck, and the Roads leading from the said River, to the town of Beverley; and for cleansing the Streets of the said Town, and for regulating the Carriages to and from the said Beck, and the River Hull;' by which they are empowered to collect rates, in addition to those granted under the 13th George I. and which are enumerated in the second column of the schedule.
