He also expressed himself in favour of public improvements.
He was a supporter of dock extension, but was opposed to its
being carried out beyond the limits of the borough, so long
as there was an inch of land to spare within the borough. He
condemned the proposed extension to Bootle sands, as being
alike injurious to the interests of merchants and the public.
Mr. BOWER proposed Mr. Stewart as a fit and proper per-
son to represent the ward. Mr. WELLS seconded the reso-
lution, which was unanimously carried. After a vote of
thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated.
