CORRESPONDENCE OUR HOT BATHS.

(to the editor.) Sir, — Can you inform me who is responsible for the management of the above, is it a Domain Board, or a person appoints d by some other body to look after the s une ? In any case it is quite ciine that some alteration was made. Instead of being an attraction to the place and a source of pleasure to those visiting them, they are at present so often in such a disgraceful state, as to make i a b.ttu a, thing rather to be shunned than a luxury wit'dn the .reach of all. What with the filthy dirty state the floor of the building so often is in, the shower bath b'ing so constiintly out of order (in fact, it has recently become the exception for it to bo in order) the unsoomly, an-l in some cas.s, di^gu^ting sentiments vv-'iich arc ?cjaw!el up all over the wal! c , | and tae mismam^iu.Mit of tlu whole place, there is litblc or no pleasure in going thcic. Js there not a Domain Board in exigence, who are supposed to h-ive the looking nfior the tiling, keep it in order, and' sec that it is in a decently cio.m *lntr I Who constitute the Board, and why are tluy not attending to their duties ? If they will not do so, let them m ike room for others who will. Wh.it about the £200 we have heard talked of so ranch as having been voted by Government for additions and improvements t«i the baths ? If the money has boeu \oted, why are ttie residents not having the benefits of it, in the shape oi more accommo larion and convenienres? But £'2()Q or no £200, for goodness <;ake let us have the baths already erected kept in something like decent oner, and thpy will very soon becom« a source of attiMciiou to Te Aroha. — I am, etc., A Bather.
