UNDERGROUND CONVENIENCES (FEMALE).
The Women's Underground Conveniences have been under
regular inspection. I have had no complaint to make to the
Attendants with regard either to cleanliness of the premises or
civility. The Conveniences appear to be almost entirely free
from persons of objectionable character or habits."
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
FRANCES A. BAKER,
Inspector.
