LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY.
IN making a Special Appeal to the Public on beb
of the ROYAL INFIRMARY, the Committee deem it riLfe
co
to state the circumstances which have rendered such a ""
necessary.
At the time when the present Building was erected, no ,1
sewers existed in the neighbourhood—these have been a NO' re
comparatively recent date : but having been completed, the open
tion of the " Liverpool'Sanitary Act" rendered it compulsory' °Jet
the Committee to drain the whole of the extensive premises
their chLrge. „de
After much consideration they resolved to enter at the same
upon certain alterations and repairs, the necessity for whicl'ied
been apparent for pars, and which it was manifest could be en,
out with greater convenience, and at a less cost to the Ch.ore
simultaneously with the drainage, than if deferred to a fu
period. tb
These works, the execution of which has been spread ace
last four years, have at length been brought to completion ;,..`"opr
although the cost they have entailed has exceeded what the tye
mittee at first bad it in contemplation to expend, yet they hacctioti
satisfaction of knowing that the Town now possesses an Institao
that is not excelled in its arrangements and appointments by
other of its kind in the country, ty
When the high price of all articles of consumption durinf
greater portion of- that time is also taken into account, it will rder
excite surprise to know that the sum of £6,000 is required, in °O4
that the Charity may be perfectly free from debt, of which it
to borne inmind that fully £4,500 has been incurred on the
_1).;;;01

ings alone

and it is to rage this amount that

with confidence to the proverbial liberalitrof the Liverpool rtvior
in supporting their charitable ins itutions, to provide the meal.l-,.,
extinguishing the debt that at present stands against the chanW
Contributions for this object will be thankfully received 1)7

The Corporation of Liverpool (the lessors of the premises at Dir
head), will give their consent to the tranfer of the leases;
The above Graving Docks, lying between Monks' Fen:4e
Woodside Ferry, afford great advantages and are sufflcientll,'or
cious to accommodate at one time from 9,000 to 10,000 tons 0,
ping for repairs. They contain over 30,000 square yards 01 ,

of Which 14,000 yards are dock and water space. 'Oll
he Buildings form a massive pile of stone and brick bollooft
300 feet long by 50 feet wide, and comprise lofts, rigging-I.:1A
and workshops for ,joiners, blockmakers, smiths, and bo „go:
There are also engine houses, foremen's cottages, and stab

the premises. The stock on thei premises is very large, con&-
an ample supply of materials necessary for the trade. cgs
The average rentals are under 2s per square yard, including
of warehouses and workshops. aye

The dues-charged on ships' entering these docks, are those
by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.

There is little or no tidal current in the river between 1.
and Monks' Ferries, and experience has proved that the 11:0
ships can be easily docked and undocked at these yards
