TO THE

EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—
OBSERVE in the LIVERPOOL ALBION of to-day a
report of the proceedings of the • Birkenhead Commis-
sioners at their meetings on Saturday last; and I cannot allow
to pass without notice that part of the paragraph which refers
to the present water rates of the Birkenhead and Claughton
Gas anti Water Company, and those proposed by the intended
bill of the Commissioners. I beg to state, very briefly, that so
far from allaying, it is calculated to cause very much miscon-
ception, and that—either through inorance, or of set purpose
—it is incorrect ; and I subjoin a statement at foot, which I think
may prevent any further mistake upon this subject.
I remain yours respectfully.
SAMUEL HIGHFIELD,
Manager of Birkenhead anti Claughton Gas
and Water Company.
