TO THE ELECTORS OF LIME STREET WARD

GENTLEMEN,
AVING 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 tcfplaca 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—wheth,r we reter to its rapidly
increasing c •mmerce and population, to the increased responsibility
e. volving upon the Corporate Exchequer, from the purchase of the
Isirkenhead Docks; or, to the envy which our deserved success
appears, unfortunately. to have created elsewhere.
In my opinion. 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 came title as sacred, when held by private individuals, appears
to me nit only absurd, bet iniquitous.
i %As Ratepayers, Gentlemen, the trade of the port must necessarily
demand her first considerations, and, to give every possible facility to
our rapidly growing commerce, is obviously our first duty. To this
end, I consider that unnecessary elongation of our Docks should be
avoided, and that the inland concentration of these should be our
tue y.
Ii 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 sre any better informed upon this subject than are our
Councillors and Aldermen themselves, as is proved by the circum-
stance, that Mr, Robertson Gladstone moved for this Information
more than twelve months ago, and it is not yet forthcoming.
I have been no inconsiderable Ratepayer in your Ward for nearly
a quarter of a century ; your interests and mine, therefore, as Rate-
payers, most necessarily be Identical.
On several occasions you have expresaed a wish that I should
represent you in the Town Pouncil ; hilt hitherto 1 have considered
the time that was at my disposal insufficient for the faithful dis-
charge of duties so onerous and responsible, and
i have felt con-
st-ained to decline that honour. Now, however, if tis 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
tali ity.--I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully.
JAMES R. JEFFERY.
