TO THE RATEPAYERS OF LIVERPOOL.
FELLOW PARISHIONERS,
AS the EQUITABLE RATING COMMITTEE,
appointed by the Inhabitants in General Vestry Assem-
bled, we beg respectfully to tender you a word of advice on the'
approaching Municipal Election.
That the pressure of local taxation has injured, and is still"
injuring the valus of property is evident from the numerone
unoccupied houses which meet the eye in every direction.
Whatever odium the parish authorities may incur, because of
the pressure of the local rates, the interest and the feelings of
that body are decidedly in favour of keeping the taxation to
the lowest possible point; but to enable them to do this, the
support of the rate-payers themselves is indispensable. The
welfare of the parish is as much enhanced by a low scale of
poor-rates as the prosperity of the docks is promoted by the
reduction of the charges on tonnage. Properly understood,
the interests of all classes of the parishioners are identical.
Every parishioner and every merchant are alike interested in
the cheap working of the clocks, and a low scale of rates on
property generally. But owing, unhappily, to the existence, in
certain quarters, of a strong feeling in favour of one species of
property, the local rates are higher than they would otherwise
be, and the result is, that while the burdens of the parish drive
housekeepers into the adjacent townships, and, with the addi-
tional incitement of almost gratuitous transit, across the river,
the diminution in the parish revenue, thus created, press with
ii creased severity on all the parishioner a who remain. To re-
medy this evil, we the Equitableßating Committee, were called
into existence by the General Vestry.
When we last addressed you. the Corporate estate, like the
Dock estate, contributed nothing towards the funds of the
parish. But we brought the influence of public opinion to bear
upon the question, and, having reason and justice on our side,
we induced the Corporation to compromise the matter by an
arrangement which will add to the parish funds nearly £lO,OOO
a year.
The justice of rating public property has been thus distinctly
admitted by the Corporation, and it would have gratified us if
we could have added, that the other public body—the Dock
Committee—had proved itself equally liberal and wise.
In the early part of the present year, the parish authorities
proceeded to Parliament for the purpose of procuring an act to
make the Dock estate contribute a share towards the reduction
of the parish rates. The bill was withdrawn in consequence of
the formidable opposition which it encountered from some
members of the Dock Committee, and other personally inter-
ested parties, who succeeded in obtaining the support of the
members for the adjoining districts of Lancashire and York-
shire. But although defeated on that occasion, we are not
without hopes that the justice of our claims will yet be con-
ceded by the Legislature. To be successful, however, it is
above all things necessary that the Town Council should be
composed of pro-raters, and as the constitution of that body
rests entirely with the Parishioners, it ought to be their policy,
as it is unquestionably their interest, to return only those who
are favourable to the imposition of a small parochial tax on the
dock receipts. That such a tax, amounting on the average to
less than 205. on an entire ship, together with its cargo inward
and its cargo outward, could, by any possibility, injure the
trade of the port, we treat as an untenable assumption.
The Port charges V this town are well known to be amongst
the lowest in the world, and, as the trade has increased, the
Dock Committee have applied their surplus income to the still
further reduction of their tariff. But, however wise this may
be in itself, it sins against the excellent axiom of being " just
before you are generous." The Docks, undoubtedly, add to the
number of Paupers, and, therefore, so small a sum contributed
annually towards their support from the Dock estate, and
which, be it remembered, would cause no increase in the pre-
sent Dock charges of the port, is not only just in principle, but
in expediency unobjectionable.
At present the reduction of these charges are made in favour
of persons scattered over the world, who consume the multitu-
dinous articles of which this town is the depository ; and while
the Legislature has recently admitted foreigners, with most of
their goods free of those taxes which formerly attached to im-
portation ; while also they are allowed the use of docks, which
bring pauperism about us, as well as employment, and to which
pauperism they contribute nothing; the artisan, shopkeeper,
and tradesman of our town, though struggling under the pres-
sure of taxation, are denied the benefit which the foreigner
receives.
But the question at issue appeals so forcibly to the common
sense of the rate-payers, and to their pockets, that we deem it
superfluous to do more than impress upon them the necessity,
of supporting only those municipal candidates who are favour-
able to the rating of the docks, and determinedly opposed to all
lavish expenditure of the public money.
We desire, in conclusion, to state, as we did in our address of
last year, "that we are not partisans ; we appear not as the
supporters or the opponents of any of the candidates for muni-
cipal honours; but, viewing the question as it affects the wel-
fare of the town, we have a zealous interest in the success of
the candidates who will heartily co-operate with us in the ob-
jects for which we are struggling, namely, to equalize, as far as
possible, parochial taxation, and to prevent it from pressing
with undue severity WILLIAMan art icularßßOWN, class."

TO THE ELECTORS OF EXCHANGE WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
YOU have done me the honour to request a conti-
nuance of my services as one of your Representatives in
the Town Connell
The Requisition which conveys your wishes is signed so nu-
merously, and is of so commanding a character, that I at once
respond to your cull, and request the renewed support of the
Electors on the lat of November.
I beg to express my continued desire that the Town Council
should give a EMI n d and Scriptural Education to the Children
of our poorer fellow-townsmen.
I am an advocate for supplying each Inhabitant with a full,
continuous, and independent supply of pure Water, thus pro-
moting those habits of cleanliness which minister to• the com-
fort of the people, and at the same time improve the Sanatory
condition of the Town.

As a British shipowner, I am deeply !nteiested with your-
seives in the Trade and Commerce of the Port; and, conse-
quently, have the strongest reasons for supporting those mea-
sures of economy and sound Local Government, which, may
appear most likely to benefit the Ratepayers, and insure the
lasting prosperity of " the good old Town."

I am, Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
JANIES TYREE.

TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF ST.
PETER'S WARD.

GMNTLEMEN,
TN consequence of my respected friend, Mr. Tyrer,.
.1 being compelled, by delicate health, to decline being a Can-
didate for your Ward- at the next Election, a numerous and
highly-respectable Deputation have waited upon me, and urged
me in such complimentary terms to allow tolselt to be nomi-
nated as a CANDIDATF,, that I do not feel myself at liberty
to refuse acceding to their wishes.
I have been for thirty-five years actively engaged in I.:mines&
in your Ward, and am consequently identified with your best
interests. I have had the honour to act as one of the Over-
seers of this-( xtensive Parish for the last two years, and during-
such time have done all in my power to administer to the relief
of our suffering and numerous poor, in the most liberal man-
ner, at the same time exercising the strictest economy, so as
not to press too heavily upon the pockets of the Ratepayers;
and if elected to the Town Council, I shall exercise such a
supervision of the Funds as would, as far as I could, prevent
any lavish expendiure in any branch of the Corporate Estate.
I am, and always have been, a determined opponent of the
Rivi»gton Pike scheme, and should do all in my power to pre-
vent the carrying out of the same. lam also a firm advocate
for the Rating of the Dock and Corporate Estates, as I con-
sider that every description of Property should contribute its
fair proportion to-the public burdens.
I am Gentlemen,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
THOMAS CLARKE.
' Cable-street, nth October, 1849.

TO THE MUNICIPAL ELECTORS OF WEST

DERBY WARD.

GENTLEMEN,
T HAVE been induced by circumstances of a some-
-1 what peculiar nature. which chiefly occurred at the Ward
Meeting of Thursday night last, to offer myself to your notice
as a CANDIDATE, at the approaching ELECTION. These
circumstances are briefly treated of in a postingbill which may
be seen on the walls ; and which shall, in a few days, be handed
to you in a more convenient form.
Meantime, after stating that I am encouraged to this step by
no inconsiderable number of Electors present at that Meeting,
let me here assure you that, on the important measure which
most largely engrosses the public mind, viz., the Rivington
Pike scheme, I am heartily and entirely with the great majority
of the inhabitants of our Ward, and of those of the borough at
large. I deem the scheme an enormous error on the part of
those who honestly adopted it ; listening too credulously to the
voice of the scheeier. And whilst I should be desirous of ho-
nourably fulfilling every honest engagement incurred during
the day of delusion, or of making just compensation, so would
I, from a clear conviction that there is. in our own immediate
neighbourhood, a never-failing natural flow of fine, clear water,
to be had for the mere raising' deem it my duty to resist to the
utmost any further attempt to prosecute that or any other
scheme for bringing water from a distance by artificial, expen-
sive, and haz-rdous schemes.
And, should yon do me the honour to send me to theCouncit„
with that zeal and unbending firmness in behalf of truth and
justice, for which I think you will give me credit, I shall la-
, hour, by a vigilant supervision of the expenditure of the
Corporate Funds, and by all other means within my power, to
abate the heavy rates and taxes under which we are all suffering.
I remain. Gentlemen,
Your most ouedient servant,
THOMAS SMITH.
West Derby-street, Monday, Oct. 15, 1849.

TO THE ELECTORS OF WEST DERBY WARD-
GENTLE:4M,
AMOST respectable Deputation, appointed at a
Public Meeting of the Electors of the Ward, having done
me the honour to wait upon me, and to request DIA I should
allow myself to he put into Nomination, on the Ist November
next, as a Candidate to represent your interests in the Municipal
Council of this town, I am urged by a sense of duty to respond
to their and your wishes.
In accepting this invitation, I beg leave to state that I am not
the opponent of any individual, on personal or political grounds,
but I rest my pretensions, humble as I admit them to be, on
my early and avowed opposition to those speculative proceed-
ings of the Town Council which have already entailed a heavy
and unnecessary reap onsibilty upon the Corporate Estate, and
which, if not arrested in their progr?ss, will impose additional
burthens upon the Burgesses, and other unavoidable and
vexatious difficulties, which, for the present, are ingeniously
concealed.
The proposal to supply Water for the use of the Inhabitants
of Liverpool from sources so remote, white so much pure and
wholesome Water can be obtained under the site of the Town
itself, or its immediate environs. has always appeared to me to
be nothing more than an engineering speculation.
I am opposed to all schemes of extravagance, encouraged
under false pretences.
Liverpool, ever since it had any claim to be called a town,
has been better supplied with excellent Water from its own
natural stores, under its own than any other town in the
kingdom. I am, therefore, on those grounds, decidedly op-
posed to the Rivington Water-works.
Besides, the Burgesses are labouring under the charge of
very onerous Poor-rates, caused by the invitation which our
commerce gives to Irish labourers, and I think that the Docks,
which are the ornament of the port, ought also to contribute to
the relief of the pauperism which they attract. In my opinion
it is extremely hard that the Burgesses of Liverpool should be
oppessed by poor rates for the advantage of all the manufac-
turing interests of the country.
These, Gentlemen, are my opinions. They have not been
hastily formed. I have seen, and flow see more clearly, in the
embarrassments of trade, in the reduction of profits, which
every man feels, the necessity of a rigid economy in our Muni-
cipal Government.
In other matters, I have only to observe, that if you deem
me worthy to represent you, I shall serve your interests in an
independent spirit, with honesty and faithtulness.
I have the honour to be
Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
ARTHUR HENDERSON..
St. Ann's-hill,l6th October, 1849. •

TO THE ELECTORS OF SCOTLAND WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
ANUMEROUS and most respectably sinned
Requisition having been presented to me, by a deputation
from a Coinmitteeappointed at a Meeting of your Ward, called
by public placard, requesting me to allow myself to he nomi-
nated as a Candidate to represent your Interests in the Town
Council, at the ensuing Election in November, I at first,
fearing that, from the political views I entertain, the great
Questions that are now so prominently before the Electors
might be endangered, respectfully declined ; but, pressed by a
number of Gentlemen of all parties, who, agreeing with me in
opinion that politics should never be allowed to interfere in the
management of our local affairs, have again waited upon me,
I no longer hesitate to place myself in your hands.
Believing that to constitute a real representation, there is
required a similarity of opinion on all important questions,
between the Electors and their Representatives—and when
that ceases, an honest man is hound to return the trust into
the hands of his constituents—allow me to place on record my
views On the RIVINGTON PIKE and DOCK RATING QUESTIONS.
I believe that we have sufficient Water, of a superior quality,
within our own locality; and, whilst Engineers of the first
eminence do not hesitate to assure us of this, I think, consi-
dering the great difficulties the Tradesmen and Shopkeepers of
Liverpool have had to contend with during the last three years,
that a worse time could not have been chosen for the attempt
to fasten upon the Inhabitants, a scheme, which, even its
warmest supporters admit will cost the large sum of .e500,C00.
I firmly believe the compensation we should have to pay would
be still more serious. The Rivington Pike, therefore, will have
my most determined opposition.
On the Rating of the Docks there seems to be very slight
difference of opinion, and I need only remark that if we, the
Electors, perform our duty on the Ist of November, there is
every probability of the time shortly arriving when all property,
except that appropriated to charitable purposes, will be equi-
tably rated to the support of the Poor.
Allow me, in conclusion, to assure you that should I be
elected, no exertion shall be wanting on my part honestly to
assist in managing' our Corporate Estate in the most economi-
cal way compatible with the honour of this great town.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,
JOHN BIGHAM.
