SWIMMING BATH

AN INTERESTING PROPOSAL. DEPUTATION TO COUNCIL, There is a proposal on foot that a swimming-bath should be formed at the Children's Park end of the school in Orevnibuth. The idea is that the bath should be used for the children, during school hours and for adults afterwards* A deputation consisting' ol Messrs Aldridge, Tennent and R. Williams will wait upon the Borough Council at the meeting of that authority tomorrow evening with a view to seeming the co-operation of the Council with the school committee to have the swimming bath erected. The committee suggests that the advice might be obtained from the Borough engineer as to the provision of a wat-er-supply. There is a proposal mat water 'might be brought imin Smith's Hill. (To the Editor.) Sir, —T notice in your report yesterday that a deputation is about to wait on the Borough Council re a Swimming Bath for the school. Now what is required here is not a small cold water bath that would, only he used three months in. the year, but an up-to-date tepid hath similar to those in Chvistchuroh, but smaller, and I am certain this can be obtained by a grant from the Education Department. Borough Council, and the balance by public subscription. In conversation with three gentlemen about it to-day, they each s\iid they would give £o toward it, and I would do the same and I suggest that the

Mayor call a public meeting, and I am certain the decision would not be for a cold water bath', but something creditable to the town and useful all the year round". —T am etc. PROGRESS.
