In connection with the proposal to provide swimming baths in Marten where water is never likely to be too plentiful In summer, the following extract from the Weekly Times, to which Mr T. Armstrong has drawn our attention, is of interest The annual report of the f Bermondsey Borough Council gives the complete result of an interesting experiment conducted at the baths by means of a special aeration and ' filtration plant. Briefly the system is to wash the water and pnt it back again in the bath, thus saving the considerable cost of refilling with fresh water. From time to time chemical and bacteriological analyses of samples of the washed water have been made. Though not good as a drinking water one analyst declared it to he preferable to ordinary bath water. Yet the sample he examne t was from a bath in which no fewer than 2857 ipeople had bathed. Dr Eyre, of Guy’s Hospital, declared the filtered water to resemble tie water from a new filled bath, although it had been in the bath ten months. Dr. Brown, the medicst officer of health, says that in bis opinion the chemical analysis show - a great improvement over that of th. water before the filtering apparatv was started, and he considers V system to have come up to all expectations. Last year the cost t - the water for the baths was only £■: 17s, whereas before it was £240 The new system shows a saving ft the year of £174 18s 4d.
