Jacobsen and 11. Rutland, the hath authorities have been fortunate in securing a splendid supple of water for the Municipal Baths. Mr Jacobsen was the pioneer worker in sinking a well in the first instance. This has since been deepened, and the officers of ihe Electric Power Coy. gave advice and guidance with regard to the installation of an electric pumping plant. The plant was put into positive working order yesterday, and delivered a fine How of clear as crystal water at the rate of a gallon a second, or sixty gallons a minute, equal to 3.00 P gallons an hour. The plant ran on for some hours, and a party of ladies enjoyed a dip last night, voting the experience Al. This forenoon further water was pumped in. rendering the baths generally usable to-day This afternoon the well is to he deepened still further, and better secured. The outstanding fact is that there is a magnificent water supply of pure water which will he a continuous delight to bathers. The hath authorities are jubilant at the success of the new installation. which will popularise the baths now to the fullest degree.
