NUISANCES IN PEMBROKE PLACE.

At the Council meeting to-morrow, the following
Memorial, from Pembroke Place inhabitants, will be pre-
sented to the Council :

TO TIIE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COUNCILLORS OF TILE

Boßouoir OF LIVERPOOL,
Gentlemen,—ln behalf of the 59 memorialists, being
owners and occupiers of property in Pembroke-place,
whose prayer, that the one-third part of that street be
Macadamized, was referred by the Council, at its last
meeting,to the Health Committee for reconsideration.
We, the undersigned, beg respectfully to state, that in
consequence of the Health Committee having been pleased
to recommen that certain portions only of Pembroke
place, (those opposite to the Church and Lying-in-hospital)
shall he Macadamized, which buildings, however, were not
specifically named in the memorial, though of necessity
from the locality, were included in it.
And since the Health Committee have withheld the same
act of grace from being extended to your memorialists by
declining to grant theirprayer—which decision,however, is
not supported by the statement of any facts communicated
to your memorialists—who, on the contrary, have reason
to believe that their memorial was permitted to be gently
laid on the shelf, and that it was urged as an argument
against its prayer being granted—that Pembroke-place
paid no rates.
We, therefore, are constrained to form the opinion that
our case has not been fully considered, inasmuch as the
domestic comfort of your memorialists, is to them, at least,
of equal importance, as is the comfort either of the
inmates of the hospital, or the congregation of the church,
when it is remembered that the residence of the patients
n the hospital is temporary, and that the portion of
devotional time spent in the church by its congregation is
only one fiftieth part of the time during which the inha-
bitants of Pembroke-place are subjected to the intolerable
and interminable nuisance both night and day, as most
particularly set forth and complained of in their memorial,
to which we would most respectfully refer you.
We beg also to remark that Pembroke-place forms an
exception to the rule of l‘laca!amizing the middle portions
of all the thoroughfares in this district, and that the street
forms only about 400 yards in a distance of some miles,
commencing at Elliott-street, and continuing by London-
road into the country.
Indeed, we have failed to find any similarly situated
street in this locality, paved in its entirety with those
objectionable square sets; London-road is a continuation
of Pembroke place, in a westwardly direction, and is ma
cadamized in its entirety ; West Derby-street is a continu-
ation also of Pembroke-place, in an eastwardly direction,
and was recently Macadamized in its centre ; Lord-street
has been recently substantially repaired, and Macadamized
also in the centre.

We further remark, that the chief streets leading out of
town, in an easterly and southerly direction, and on
which the traffic is the greatest, are all Macada-
mized more or less, and instance Lord-street, Church-
street,: Bold-street, Elliott-street, Lime-street, Isling-
ton, and many others to) numerous to mention.
And, consequently, we most respectfully submit, that these
fists entitle your memorialists, by practice as well as by
the argument, that the greater the traffic the greater the
nuisance, and therefore the greater the claim, that Pem-
broke-place, a short street, should be Macadamised in its
entirety; whereas your memorialists ask for one-third part
only, which probably may be executed for the sum of
sixty pounds, or thereabout.

In Conclusion, we most respectfully ask that the same
act of grace which the Health Committee have shown to
the representatives of the Church and Hospital (whose
claim can by no means exceed that of your memorialists),
may be extended to those who now seek relief from a most
grievous unendurable, and ago-lasting nuisance, which, if
extended throughout the town, would not last a single
day—a nuisance, the progress and extent of which should
be felt by the wealthy and the influential, whereby they
would be enabled to sympathise with the inhabitants of
the " good old town," and would also be placed alike on the
same foundation—a state of things which the ratepayers
have in their power at any time, not only to promote,
but to establish also.
