Public Baths and Wash-houses.
On 6th April, 1897, the Sanitary Committee reported with reference to the removal of
ashes from the Public Baths and Wash-houses, that the Dust Contractor contended that such
removal did not come within his contract, and that be was entitled to extra payment in
regard thereto, and having considered the matter, they were of opinion that there was some
justice in the Contractor's contention inasmuch as it had never been the custom for tho
Vestry's Contractor to remove the ashes from the Baths.
Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee—That the Surveyor bo
instructed to have the ashes removed from the Baths in as cheap a way as possible, and
charge the net cost thereof to the Commissioners.
