BEACHES AND BATHING.

■ Dealing..with beaches, and bathing facilities ..Mr.. J-.-W-Ransoh,, a Labour candidate for the City Council, stated that nothing provided, more natural health, and -life-giving- properties to our people than" operiTsea bathing and swimming. The accommodation provided for the people was totally inadequate, said Mr. Ranson. The position at Oriental Bay, one of the most popular beaches, • was' one of grave concern. There, was total lack of facilities 'of any description. It was an everyday occurrence during the summer to see.young people driving away- in wet garments, which must have' a serious effect upon ■ them. Labour if returned would review the whole position.
