THE PUBLIC BATHS AND WASH-HOUSE SERVICE
The following information has been supplied by the Baths Superintendent,
Mr. G. Swarbrick, M.N.A.B.S., M.I.E.C.
This Municipal Service is very important to the health of the community,
providing private baths for maintaining personal cleanliness, public
wash-houses, whereby the family washing can be undertaken in a speedy and
labour saving manner, and swimming baths, for healthy indoor and open air
recreation. The Council readily realise the value of these services as
indicated by the many citizens attending, and intend to maintain the establishments
on the most hygienic principles.
In conformity with this, the Council have, during the past two years,
modernised the private baths at three establishments and re-tiled the two
indoor swimming pools. The private baths at another establishment are also
under consideration for improvement.

and wash-houses is pre-softened, a distinct advantage over the main water
supply.
Regarding the water supplied to the swimming pools, this is maintained
