TE ARO LADIES' BATH.
Sir, —Of all freak ideas of accommodation for children at baths, commend mo tho concroto basin in tho ladies' bath at To Aro. Never full except at tho top of tho highest tide, unahlo to change tho water during any period of less than, twelvo hours, tho stato-of tho bath can bo hotter imqgincd than described, and it requires a vivid imagination to conceive tho reality. Whoovor conceived tho thing should bo compelled to tako a daily bath in it for tlio rest of his natural life. Fifty ways of getting shallow water at one-third tho. cost, could, bo devised in-as many minutes, and to any practical porson a shallow • retaining wall with sand and shinglo to fill it in," sufficient to leave a.depth of somo throe foot or so at half tide would bo tho first idea to occur. Tlio best thing'tho Bath Committee could do would .bo to demolish tho abortion, failing this to connect with tho city wntor-raains and let tho children- havo clean water, oven if it is lacking in salino -qualities.—l am, e °"'. CHARLES J. WARD. 162 Clydo Quay. '
