MUNICIPAL BATHS.
SHOULD CHINESE BE EXCLUDED? CPeh Press Association.) NAPIER. Nov. 17. At a meeting of the Napier Borough Council to-night. Councillor Eagleton moved :—"That Chinese be excluded from the municipal baths premises." He said Chinamen were in the habit of going to tho baths, and other persons objected. Chinamen were, he considered, unfit to bathe with the people of Napier. Councillor Thomson thought respectable men who paid their taxes had a perfect right to go to the baths. Chinamen wore men and entitled to the rights of other men. The Mayor asked Mr Eagleton to withdraw his motion, and said the matter could surely be settled in some other way. Mr Eagleton refused to withdraw his motion, and gave notice to move it at next meeting.
