Of the Is. concession tickets 324 were issued. These represented 3888 admissions to the baths (2664 men and 1224 women). In addition a large number of adults and children’s yearly tickets were disposed of. The Outlying District Committee reported to the City Council last night that a proposal for the provision' of steps through private property did not meet with its approval, but that it was of opinion that the connection of Mortimer Terrace and Durham.

It therefore recommended that provision be made in next year's estimates for the work, subject to the condition that owners whoso property would be improved should contribute substantially towards the cost.
