TO THE BURGESS SF,g OF VAUXHALL WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING been waited upon by a large and influential
Deputatien of yoUr body, kith. a, Requisition very
numerously signed, inviting me. again to become a Candidate
to represent your Watd in the Town Council, I acceded to the
request, and at once placed my services at your disposal. •
During the time which I have had the honour of represent-
ing yourinterests, I have carefully watched every movement
made, which had for its object the better government of the
Corporate Estate;—the reform of every system of management
not based on sound and satisfactory principles ; and I have
endeavoured to promote and further evpry useful measure cal-
culated to increase our Corporate reven ' ite in order that such
improvements as are really necessary to meet the growing
wants of our largely-increasing trade might be effecteally
carried out.

That great and important improvements are required, not
only in this Ward, "but throughout the town generally, must
b self-evident. In resigning n 4 trustinto your hands, I can
with confidence refer to my past conduct as a proof that I have
not been influenced by any pirty feeling, but solely actuated,
in the discharge of my onerous duties, through a desire to
maintain, in their fullest integrity, the rights of my consti-
tuents.

Should you again place me in the prou ' position which I
have heretofore held, I will endeavour steadfastly to pursue
that comae of procedure which has given so much satisfaction
to you,- and which.(, by your desire, I wish fully to maintain,
and carry out judiciously all the necessary requirements of the
ratepayers. _
I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faitkful and obe-
dient servant, JOHN SHIMMIN.

TO THE BURGESSES OF PITT-STREET WARD. '
GENTLEMEN,
ARequisition, numerously signed, has been presented
to me, inviting me to allow myself to be nominated as
a CANDIDATE to represent your interests in the Town
Council. I feel deeply sensible of the honour, and most
cheerfully accede to that request, considering it both a duty
and a priv lege to endeavour to fulfil a public trust when
called upon in a constitutional manner. If, therefore' it be
your pleasure to elect me as yot r representative, it will be my
anxious study to discharge the duties of that important and
responsible position in such a manner as to promote the
welfare of the whole community.
The enforcement of sanitary regulations, the improvement
of the dwellings of the poor, increasing the number and
extent of parks and playgrounds for the people. shall have my
earnest support. lint, as a preliminary step to all these
important questions, and in order that the Council and also
the people of Liverpool may know what means there are for
the accoMplishment of these great works, I will join most
heartily in the, efforts to obtain an early and complete state-
ment of the nature and extent of the corporate estate. This,
I think, is one of the first duties to which the attention of
your representatives ought to be 'directed. If returned to
the Council it will be my sole object, to the best of my ability,
to see that the public resources are exclusively and efficiently
employed for the publicsood. '
Keeping this principle in view, I may state that the
widening of Park-lane and the improvement of Cleveland-
square Market shall'have my earliest and best attention.
Being a large ratepayer in the ward, my interests, I may be
permitted to say, are bound up with yours, and if I can serve
you and the town at large,,l shall be happy to do so.—l am,
gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAMES STEEL.
