Dirty Man Uses the Lord Mayor’s Bath
ST'S bad enough for strangers to drink whisky from the Lord Mayor’s Town Hall cupboard. But when the dirtiest
person imaginable uses tbe bath provided for the Lord Mayor and aldermen, then the limit has been reached. This is what happened recently in Sydney, and even late the same evening the Town Hall officials had not recovered from the shock. . When an attendant visited the bathroom he almost fainted. The white enamel tub was smeaied with grimy soapsuds, six towels once as white as the bath were lying damp and almost black on the wet floor. First For Years! * “Whoever used the bathroom had not washed for years.” was the unanimous verdict of the whole staff?called up to inspect the mess. Evidently the stranger had sueakpil up a quiet corridor between 12 noon ■ and 2 p.m.
“Wasn’t any of the aldermen,” said a Town Hall attendant, “as they don'r use the bathroom.” He didn't mean they never bathed. Anyhow, the order has gone forth that no strangers in future are to be allowed to haunt the corridors.
