It may be convenient to follow roughly the order of the
instructions in the following report.
The sizes of Swimming Baths and the number of
Private Baths for Men and Women, divided into first and
second class, have been properly provided by each Competitor,
but in one case the Competitor states that from the
restricted width of the site in parts he has been obliged to
reduce the platform around the Swimming Bath to 4 feet
instead of the 4½ feet required. In all other cases, however,
the required width has been provided.
All the Competitors except one have provided that one
pay office for issuing tickets shall suffice for all Classes
of Baths.
A good service laundry in connection with the Baths
has been provided in each case, but in some plans in inconvenient
positions.
Clause 19 of the instructions required, that there shall
be a passage for administrative purposes of control, supervision,
etc., extending from end to end of the building, and
connecting the Bath Department with the Public Laundry
