On Minute No 3608 (523 and 525, Bristol Road) the following report of the Town Clerk was submitted as to the redemption of tithe rent charge:
July 20th 1931
REDEMPTION OF TITHE
RENTCHARGE.
No 525 Bristol Road, Selly Oak.
I have to report that the Minister of Agriculture & Fisheries has ordered the redemption of the tithe rentcharge on certain land in the Parish of Northfield. The above property is included within the area covered by the Order.
The share of the Redemption Money and Expenses apportioned to your Committee is 4s. 1d and this has been paid.
The annual Rentcharge continues to be payable while redemption is in progress, and will not be extinguished until after payment of the instalment of the Rentcharge for the half-year in which the total amount of the redemption money for such Rentcharge is collected and paid over.
It is unlikely that your Committee will be required to pay any Annual Rentcharge as other owners are concerned to a much greater extent, and I therefore suggest that the minute be discharged.
4147 RESOLVED:- That the foregoing report of the Town Clerk be approved, the payment of the redemption money and expenses therein mentioned confirmed, and Minute No 3608 discharged.
