CORRESPONDENCE.

THE BATHS.

(To the Editor:) ' Sir, — "Swimmer is wrong in saying that I would deny to others what I seek for myself. In certain things freedom of choice must be withheld' wHen the grant*, ing of it would be agains^ the wish of the majority, and would be likely to affect the popularity of a public institution. I have several reasons for thinking that the wearing of trunks should be compulsory in our baths. I cannot state them here, but shall be prepared to do so if the matter' comes up before the Borough Council. If there is anything in what "Swimmer" terms "'the sanitary aspect" of the question I am surprised at -.3 bding satisfied that the matter shouid Jbe optional with bathers. His second question is not on all fours wivu the vital Ipoint. I fail to see the point of his last for the appointment of a- lady attendant would settle his contention im- < mediately. This correspondence now ends 'as far as lam concerned ; L merely wrote >in order that the public should not be ? under the false impression that the anti- ; trunk party are in the majority, or even 'numerous. — I am, etc., • ANOTHER SWIMMER. . 1 i
