Just as the financial year was closing the Commissioners
heard with great regret that a leakage had commenced

As a review of the past year's working, the Commissioners
venture to think the foregoing shows a fairly
satisfactory result, particularly when the opening of the
new Baths at Kensington is taken into consideration,
which Institution must have attracted many persons in
that neighbourhood who had been in the habit of using
the Paddington Baths.
Appended to this Report are Statements showing the
number of Tickets in Stock, given out and sold, during
