iflunicipai election

TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME STREET WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
EAVINCT received a REQUISITION, signed
by upwards of 300 of your body, in the unprece-
dented short space of two days, requesting me to offer myself as a
CANDIDATE at the ensuing MUNICIPAL ELECTION, to repre-
sent your interests in the TOWN COUNCIL, I am induced at once

to accede to the request so made, and to place my services at vonr
disposal.

Never was there a period, in the history of the Borough, when
interests so great demanded the careful attention and best judg-
ment of your Representatives—whether we refer to its rapidly
increasing c3mmerce and population, to the increased responsibility
d solving upon the Corporate Exchequer, from the purchase of the
Birkenhead Docks; or, to the envy which our deserved success
appears, unf .rtunately, to have created elsewhere
In my o

_ pinion, our Town Dues have been most unfairly and
unjustly attacked, and the attempt which has been made to confis-
cate such property, when held by Corporations, and yet to maintain
the same title as sacred, when meld by private individuate, appears
to me tact only absurd, ha

Liquitous

As Ratepayers, Gent:ernen, the trade of the port must necessarily
demand her first cons .:nations, and, to give every possible facility to
our rapidly growing commerce, is obviously our first duty. To this
end, 1 consider that unnecessary elongation of our Docks should be
avoided, and that the inland concentration of these should be our
study.
It elected to the Council. I will endeavour to ascertain, with as
little delay as possible, what it is that constitutes the Corporate
Estate, with a view to its Improved revenue; for I deem it to be a
deplorable fact, that no one gentleman in the Council Chamber pos-
sesses this knowledge; nor does it appear that our princely-paid
officials are any better informed upon this subject than are our
Councillors and A lcermen themselves, as is proved by the circuits-
that Mr, Robertson Gladstone moved for this Information
han twelve months ago, and It is not yet forthcoming.

;dance,

I have been no Inconsiderable Ratepayer in your Ward for nearly
a quarter of a century; your Interests and mine, therefore, as Rate-
payers, mist necessarily be identical.

On several occasions you have expressed a wish that I should
represent you in the Town P ouncil ; but hitherto I have considered
the time that was at my disposal insufficient for the faithful dis-
charge of duties so onerous and responsible, and have felt con.
strained to decline that honour. Now, however, if it is your plea-
sure to elect me, on the Ist November next, to serve as one of your
Representatives, I shall be proud to undertake the duties which the
office will impose upon me, and to discharge them to the test of my
abi ity.—l am, gentlemen, yours respectfully,
JAMES R. JEFFERY.
