A petition signed by 53 of the principal ratepayers and residents iu the town was received, asking that public baths be eatablished in the domain. Mr R. H.

All that was asked for was that the Domain Board would take charge of the matter and help in excavating to a larger extent thau at the present time. Those concerned would then solicit the public for subscriptions to erect fences and a shed. The idea originated with the junior cricketers, who recently visited Ashburtou, and were so delighted with the baths there that they at once took steps to get up the petition. Half the excavating, he pointed out, was already done, and ■i small expenditure would finish it. He (Mr Pearpoiut) had spoken to the throt local gardeners who had agreed to supply trees gratis for planting near the baths The spot selected was a capital one, away from the public road, while the bathing done at the present time in the river iu view of the public was vory objectionable
