venience afforded by the Washhouses at a minimum of cost, and
the ready help thus at hand to remove the discomforts of
washing-day in a home of one or two rooms.
The proposal to construct a new swimming bath for firstclass
bathers is noticed at length in the extract from the
Report of the Commissioners which is given above. The
matter formed the subject of an inquiry by J. T. Harrison,
Esq., one of the Inspectors of the Local Government Board,
on the 20th March, but the decision of the Board had not
been received at Lady-day.
Two Commissioners (Mr. W. Jenkins and Mr. Pool) retired
by effluxion of time in January. Mr. Jenkins was reelected
for the usual term of office, and Mr. Peyton was
elected in the place of Mr. Pool, who had expressed a desire
to be relieved of the office. A vote of thanks to Mr. Pool
for his public services in the Parish, extending over many
years, coupled with an expression of the hope of the Vestry
that they might long benefit by his experience in their
deliberations, was unanimously passed.
A list of the Commissioners is given on page 11, and a
statement of their receipts and expenditure for the year
1890, and the number of bathers and washers, on pages 152
and 153.
ARCHBISHOP TENISON'S SCHOOL.
Three of the Trustees of Archbishop Tenison's United
Schools for the parishes of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and St.
James are elected by the Vestry. A vacancy occurred
during the year by the expiration of the term for which
Mr. Winnett had been elected, and was filled up by the unanimous
re-appointment of that gentleman.
A statement of the Accounts of the Schools for the year
1890 is given on page 155.
