BOROUGH OF PADDINGTON.
of the Baths on Sunday mornings during the months of
November, December, January, and February, was practically
attended with loss on the working expenses account,
and the Commissioners, on the 1st December last, decided
to keep the Baths closed on Sunday mornings until the
end of February, at the same time extending the hour for
closing the Baths on Fridays from 8.30 till 9, p.m., and
Saturday evenings from 9 till 9.30.
The Commissioners regret that owing to the large
arrears in the matter of repairs to the Building which
they have had to meet during the past three years, they
have been unable to partially relieve the Vestry in the
payment of the half-yearly instalments of redemption and
interest on loans, and with the additional burden now
placed upon them for rates, their hope for the future in
this respect is uncertain of realization.
They, however, feel satisfied that the Vestry will not
be slow to recognize the fact that they have effected a
saving in the working expenses, without in any way
diminishing the efficiency of the establishment, and that,
apart from this, the question of finance entirely depends
upon weather conditions and temperature.
The following Statements are appended to this
Report:—
