The closed-in bath, situated in Western Road, has been open
since August, 1911.
In addition to the large pond, provision is made at the latter
for slipper and spray baths, both male and female.
One evening in the week has been set apart for Mixed Bathing
at the Western Road Baths, under proper rules and regulations,
and has proved most popular.
The provision of another swimming pond, and additional
slipper baths, at Western Road, is under consideration.
The Surveyor has kindly supplied me with the following
