THE LADIES' SWIMMING BATHS.
When Dr. W. H. Hosking offered to give £SOO for the construction of a ladies' bath his gift was generally proclaimed as being generous, and it was agreed that such a gift would be a boon to those whose health and pleasure it was intended to promote. Now Dr. Hosking says that he has withdrawn his "gift"—-hence it was never a gift, for had it been so it could not have been withdrawn. Whatever may or may not have oci curred since Dr Hosking made his offer certainly nothing whatever has occurred to justify him in withdrawing his offer. The incidents subsequent to the offer are somewhat unfortunate. For instance, there wa? i the utterly wrong proposal that the Trust Lands Trust should subsidise the "gift," b'jt we have nu desire to travem 1 &11 the subsequent events. If Dr. Hosking really wished to do what he offered to do it stems to ns there were two courses open to him —(1) Either to liHnri the donation over to the Borough Council, with a general expression of what the money was for; or (2) to obtain thy sanction of the Borough Council to his erecting, according to his satisfaction, the proposed bath for (he ladies of Masterton.
