| establishing .»swimming hath, to lx* sßi pijcd with tepid water.

Some year* ago he that to erect such baths would oa*t « England at least that sum, imwpectivajl land. He considered that a bath was proposed would pay interest on capi»l L*nvtwcd by the Council up to, say 4po®. The proposal would also tend to remdeitte general scheme of work# at*ceptal»le Sfth citireo*. M?

The Mayor said that to include the jßtn a the loan would completely upsetWie irraagements proposed by the Commig*?, is it would necessitate a special rate luißg struck. He considered it was most ioopMh :une to introduce such an important mat®" it the present time. B Councillor Vincent said that ho wo® nuch be might W in favour of the propc*sj| ie was compelled to oppose it at the prese® lime, a* it would go a long way to prove* he Council from getting the loan at am Hie cost of a bath world, he considere® vrobably W nearer XIO.OOO than JCSOOO. E Councillor Lambert regretted that Urn natter should have cropped up at tl» present stage of affaire, lie failed to «« he neoe«*iiy for the baths, and was new ertain that it would be a good thing .each children to swim iu tepid water. | Councillor Brice did not think the* batla would pay. 1 Councillor Louisaoa thought the bath! sfould be a very good thing if the Council! xrtild afford it; but to endeavour to con-j struct it now would be certain to upset thej scheme, which was intended to provide fofej corks of necessity, and not for luxuries. J Councillor Andrews thought that al wttcr plan than constructing a bath iny •'hristefttirch would Ik* for the Tram warn irorooters to make some arrangement tftabUahing baths at New Brighton. (Hearg u-ar.) | The motion was put, and negatived on he voices. _ j Borne applications for licenses were -ranted, among them one for the Y.M.C.A, •ooms as a public hall. 7H* Council adjourned at 8.46 p.m.
