THE NAPIER BATHS.
[BY TELEGBAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
■■:■'' Napier, Wednesday. At .a ' meeting of the Napier Borough Council to-night Mr. Eagleton moved, "That Chinese be excluded from the municipal baths premises." He said Chinamen were in the habit of going to the baths, and other persons objected. Chinamen were, he considered, unfit to bathe with the people of Napier. Mr. Thomson thought respectable men who paid their taxes had a perfect right to go to the bath 6. Chinamen were men, and entitled" to the rights enjoyed by other men. The Mayor asked Mr. Eagleton 'to withdraw his motion, ; and said the matter could surely be settled in some other way. Mi - . Eagleton refused to withdraw his motion, and gave , notice to move it at next meeting. >, ;
