TO THE EDITOR OP TILE LIVERPOOL ST.9ND.4RD.

Stß,—My object in addressing you, is to call, through the
medium of your valuable columns, the attention of the proper
authorities to the shameful state of a portion of Park-street,
Park-road, in which are four unfinished houses, known as
" Jerry built." They are now in a very dangerous state, hav-
ing for a length of time been going to decay, and as a part of
them fell during the last winter, I am anxious that the annoy-
ance should be remedied before the return of that season. The
pathway in front of them is also very dangerous, the areas re-
maining open and entirely unprotected, myself and neighbours
being constantly obliged to warn our friends to keep in the
middle of the street for safety.
We are now within the borough of Liverpool, vet have not a
single lamp in the whole street, although rated very. high for
lighting. This inconvenience is much felt by a portion of the
congregation of the church of St. John the Baptist, who are
in the habit of coming out at the north gate in Park-street. I
suggest a lamp should be placed as near as possible to this en-
trance, consistently with the arrangement which may be made
for their distances from each other. By the bye I observed in
your paper of Tuesday last, the Town-clerk decided in the
council that the inhabitants of West Derby hail no right to pay
for lights if they had them not. 1 consider the same remark
applies to Toxteth Park. The sooner these,hints are attended
to the better for the public, and yours, &c.,
