Public Baths
Are much in request, and when built will supply a
great want, and be truly appreciated by the poor and
middle classes who have not the advantage of baths
in their houses which are now so general.
Artisans' Dwellings,
Built on the improved sanitary principle, would be a
decided benefit to the labouring class by whom they
would be duly appreciated, there being a great
demand for this class of property.
Recreation Ground in Chiswick Lane.
The purchase of the Homefields having been
arranged, we have every reason to anticipate that
it will be shortly enclosed and laid out as a pleasure
ground, adding to the attractions of the District.
