Salt-water baths have been installed since last year, and are proving a great success. The swimming-baths have been frequented by a very large number of bathers. The St. Clair beach has not improved during the year, westerly winds having caused a continuous scour. Unusually heavy pedestrian traffic has also tended to reduce the level of the beach for a distance of some chains. The progress at St. Kilda beach has been slow compared with past years, caused by the absence of south-west winds, which usually bring up a supply of sand. Tracks have been cut through the lupins, and, where possible, covered with clay. Surf bathing has become a popular pastime. It is proposed to have an area prepared for tree-planting, and also to plant marram grass and lupins where required. Reclamation and general maintenance will also be continued. (NOTE.
