The Municipal Baths, Wells Street.
Forty-nine warm baths are available at these baths as well as
provision for the washing of clothes. No swimming facilities are,
however, provided at this establishment.

The water in all the Council's swimming baths is filtered,
aerated and chemically treated. In the absence of scum troughs
or overflow channels, the surface of the water is skimmed every
morning.
A daily record is kept of the chlorine content of the water.
The practice of obtaining samples of the water from the
swimming baths monthly during the summer and alternate months
during the winter for chemical and bacteriological examination
was continued. The reports of these examinations were satisfactory
in every instance, thus proving that the installation of filtration
and aeration plants ensures a clean and pure water for bathing.
