LADIES AND GENTI,EMEN,
An opportunity now presents itself to you at the ensiling
ELECTION to Return to the BOARD Oat FOMMISSIOv
to the duties ERS
for Birkenhead men who will not only tond of
the office, but who will, at the sa
lasede, use every energyatis-
t
see the affairs of this Township pon a proper and so
• factory footing.
You are aware that an attempt has recently been made to
burden you with an additional Rate of One Shilling in the
Pound upon House Property, and this for the purpose of pay.
• ing the Bondholders. Now, hoWever feasible this may at the
first moment appear, a plain statement of facts will at once
disabuse your mind of any prejudice in the matter.
Those Gentlemen who are so anxious to saddle you with an
additional Taxation have no real interest or stake in the
Township, either by Property or Business.
They are perfectly willing to make you Pay ! Pay ! ! but
they are not willing to do anything towards decreasing the
expenses incurred in the present Management of the Town-
ship affairs.
That magnificent Property, the Ferry, ought to yield a very
'considerable Profit. You have been told at one time,
able and
that by no mean authority, that the Ferry
was cap of
yielding a Revenue sufficient to do away with any Local Taxa-
tion. But, for reasons which every man may read for himself,
an opposite course has been pursued.
The Balance-sheet of the last yea- shows a gross income of
.Twenty-five Thousand Four Hundred and Ten Pounsandds. being
an increase on the preceding year of Three Thou
Hundred and Eighty-eight Pounds. Out of these large
receipts the sum of Fifteen Hundred Pourds only has been
placed to the credit of the Township.
RATEPAYERS I—You are respectfully so!icited to attend
early at the POLL Tins MORNING (Tuesday), the 6th inst.,
at the TOWN-HALL, and record your votes in favour of the
following Gen;lemen, who are fully prepared to oppose all
attempts to increase the Local Rates :
Mr. CHARLES COOK, Mr. HENRY HILLIAR,
Mr. HENRY WATSON, Mr. JOHN DIXON HORE,
Mr. HENRY FOX, I Mr. JAS. 111'WHIRTER,
(Merchant, Claughton), Mr. JAMES HIGHTON.

E. G. WILLOUGHBY, Chairman.
Committee-room. Gough's Hotel, Birkenhead,

N.B.—Liverpool Owners of House Property in Birkenhead
will see the necessity of supporting a List of Gentlemen
pledged to prevent any further increase of Local Taxation in
the Chapelry of Birkenhead.

TO THE RATEPAYERS OF BIRKENHEAD.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
The time bas arrived when the Township should no longer
be prevented by party strife from obtaining
the services of
Gentlemen as Commissioners whose character and experience
render them eminently fitted for the office.
Entertaining this opinion, the amalgamated Red and Blue
Committee beg to solicit your Votes at the ensuing
Election,
on behalf of the subjoined list of Candidates. The Gentle-
men composing it, belonging, as you will see, to both
parties,
have pledged themselves, if elected, to sink all party con,
and cordially to unite for the purpose of pro-
moting and carrying out those local improvements on which
the progress of the Town depends. They are alsd determined
to support the orderly and quiet transaction, at the Board, of
the business for the conduct of which they are returned by
their fellow-townsmen. The high character and standing in
the town of these Gentlemen, afford a sufficient assurance
that they will redeem the pledge they have now given.
The amalgamated RED and BLUE COMMITTEE therefore
beg to solicit your Votes in favour of the subjoined list of
Candidates, and request yon to record your Votes as early as
convenient THIS DAY (Tuesday), the 6th instant.
H. CURRY, Chairman, lOf the Amalgamated
