The monthly meeting of the above Board was held in the Board room on Saturday evening last, when there wero present — Messrs Gavin (chairman), Wilson, Ahier, and Quinn. The minutes of the previous monthly and special meetings were read and confirmed. A statement of accounts was submitted by the Secretary, showing the financial position of the Board, which was as follows : Credit balance at end of previous month, £33 18s lid. Iteceipts from baths for the four weeks ending 2nl inst, £28. Total, £61 18s lid. Waives and other accounts owing at date £32 10s 4d ; balance after paying all liabilities £29 8s 7d. In consequence of the decrease in the number of visitors which did away with the necessity for having two men in attendance at the baths, Mr Quinn proposed and Mr Wilson seconded, " That J. Stanley be employed during the winter months in working in the grounds, and that he relieve the caretaker at meal hours, icceiving for this additional service 3s per week extra." Carried. The same mover and seconder proposed " That the bath hours, until further notice, be from 7 am. to 9.30 p.m., except on Saturdays and on late train nights when the time of closing will be 10 p.m. ; the new arrangement to commence on Monday, the 6th inst." This was also carried. Mr George Wilson asked for leave to postpone until next monthly meeting the bringing forward of the motion standing in his name re " petitioning Government as to the necessity for having a medical practitioner appointed in connection with the baths and allowing the Board to apply a portion of its revenue towards subsidising him." Mr Wilson stated as his reason for requesting a postponement that the whole oi the members were not present, and he would piefer having the matter discussed at a full meeting of the Board. Leave granted. A conversational discussion was held on matters connected with the approaching jubilee celebrations, and Mr Wilson as secretary to the Celebration Committee, explained what had been done at the joint meeting of the Town and Domain Boards.
