PUBLIC BATHS.
d The suggestion that steps should be j i j taken to have portion of the Mangao- j j kewa set apart for bathing purposes is I an excellent one, and is deserving of • j the support of all townspeople. With- - j out dwelling upon the advantage dc- i ] rivable from swimming as an exercise, j j there are many reasons why the pro- . ject should appeal to the people. Chief I among these may be mentioned the | fact that without a water supply in the town, the residents who have to j depend upon tank water during the j j summer are frequently threatened g ! with a water famine. The daily tub in d the dry season is a forbidden luxury to I- the majority, and, until some provision is made for ensuring privacy, the benefit of having a suitable bathing stream will be discounted. The difficulties in the way of establishing a bathing place are not insurmountable, and a project such as is outlined by our correspondent is well worth considering by the c townspeople, not only of Te Kuiti, but * of every centre in the King Country.
