REASONS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPING THE EXIt3TING
ADAPTIONS OF THE BRUNSWICK DOCK TO THE
TIMBER TRADE, RATHER THAN DESTROYING
THEM.
Because, all the reasons which originally prompted the exe-
cution of this dock remain in force this day, with additional
reasons which did not then exist.
Because, as yet, this locality is not fairly deve:oped, either
by land or water; the traffic to and from the Exchange is
virtually blocked up, being confined in narrow streets which
might be widened with considerable advantage to the public
and general convenience.
Because, to this day, the mahogany trade has always been
located in the Toxteth Dock, which is isolated from the other
docks, and has only one entrance to and from the river, while
the Brunswick Dock has, for the last three years, been placed
at the like disadvantage by the destruction of the communica-
tion between it and the Coburg Dock, which communication
has for that time been replaced by a paved street; whereas for
twenty-five years it did connect the Brunswick with the
Coburg Dock, and trots with the whole range of docks south of
the Saithouse. •
Because, this perpetual disturbing of docks is simply an
experiment, whilst the absolute loss to all establishments in the
disturbed quarter and the very trade itself is most serious in a
pecuniary point of view.
Because, partly through the obstruction to the proper work-
ing of the Brunswick Dock, freights in the wood trade, which
ruled, formerly, lower to Liverpool than any other port, have
lost this distinction.
Because, it is one thing to refuse to appropriate the newly-
bought Harrington Dock land for the extension of the 'wood
trade further south, and another thing to destroy the trade
altogether south of the port (it being there best located for
internal transit and local consumption), by practically destroy-
ing the Brunswick Deck as far as this trade is concerned.
Because, no article is imported in the Port of Liverpool and
therein worked and consumed to any such extent as wood.
Why then needlessly place such article (so costly in removal in
PropOrtion to 'its value) to the disadvantage of any 4 town
locality ?
Because, this consideration was primary in the minds of
those who formerly constructed and worked the docks of the
Port of Liverpool, each dock having possessed, on its quay, an
incline for wood being landed or reloaded, such does extend-
ing, in my remembrance, from the south boundary of Parlia-
ment-street to the dry dock basin north of. George's Dock—all
ether docks being comparatively new.
Because, it seems not to have been brought to the • mind of
the Dock Committee that the wood trade in general, or, at
least, the mahogany trade in particular, requires specifically
an import and an export dock. The Toxteth, disconnected as
it is from every other dock in Liverpool, may not answer this
purpose ; but the Brunswick (if connected as it was, and
ever ought to have been, with the Coburg,) especially answers
the said requirement of an import and export dock.
Because the furniture woad trade not being indispensably
tied to Liverpool, as the cotton trade for instance, and being a
trade of infinite detail, bringing numerates strangers to the
port, ought to be fostered, and not wantonly disturbed.
For ins ahce, at last Friday's auction sales, there were pre-
sent 109 aetuol buyers from' all parts of the united Kingdom,
the number of miles travelled over by them for this purpose
amounting in the aggregate to 23,000---to the benefit of railway
and other local interests.—and these sales occur nearly every
' fortnight.
Because, in London one entire side of the West India Dock
is granted to the maghogany and furniture wood trade; and
taxing to account the eltial'extent of this trade in Liverpool, it
if, =vans; that the linniea.seiee and comparatively in.appro-
' priate doiks are made to suilleelor carrying on this important
branch of the wood trade.
• Because it is a strange policy to appropriate the newly-bought
Harrington land to the extension of the timber trade further
south, and then to destroy the trade in that locality by
obstructing the Brunswick Dock.
