PUBLIC BATHS.
e, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—ln your publietvion of the 20th current you
7Y obligingly inserted my letter on the suhject of
1
,11,blie Baths. I feel t)o deeply interested in the
tJect to allow the matter willingly to drop, and
tjrefore I trust yea will endeavour to find space for
Cs Communication. I shall be as brief as possible ;
tlif a word or two at a time can keep the matter
before the public eye, and should ultiq ately be the
ivisPans of inducing those among the working classes,
1° have the power to set the affair in a position to
Forked out to some good and practical end, mither
Jour labour nor mine can be considered as thrown
aw,y.
• since I last wrote to you I have read in the news-
Olers a brief notice of a great public meeting that
just been held at Sord, where no less a sum
'l'4o 11,000/. was subscTibeaif d in the room for the pur-
l"; among other objects, of erecting baths for the
Working classes of that h•c..lity. Here is an example
for the citizens of London to imitate. Without any
very serious difficulty some twelve or fourteen
thousand pounds has been collected in. London, to
hand down to posterity, in bronze or marble, the
name of an illustrious Duke, not very likely to need
such a memento in future generations. A much
smaller sum than this would enable us to hand do\sn
to our posterity a benefit for which they would have
good cause to bless the public spirit and enlightened
liberality of those who would assist or encourage the
Working men of London to attain for themselves so
aceessary and desirable an object as the erection of
Cheap and judiciously distributed baths.
That the working clases of London are not un-
mindful of the benefits to be derived from, or averse
to the use of the bath, is shown by the numbers who
have flocked to the Serpentine during the hot weather,
amounting to little short of 300,000. All this too in
theirla face of its numerous inconveniences and dangers,
for scarcely a week lasses during the bathing season
Without some fatal accident ; and the exposure is
• such as must deter numbers frotn availing themselves
of the so-called luxury. The fact too of the Lord
• ta.S'or having issued a proclamation against bathing
tl.l the river, ought to act as a stimulus to our exer-
. 41°4 to supply proper means and conveniences that
,‘"li necessary may be within the reach of all.
hinted in my former letter that Government
tght th, much to assiA us in the way of granting
the
Tei for the erection of buildings. And, just to view
matter in a practical light, I will take the liberty
.of Pointing out one or two situations that struck me
1 Peculiarly fitted for the purpose. In Orange-
Street, where the well is being sunk for the supply of
ater to Trafalgar-square and the public offices, is a
irg vacant space of ground, close by this inexhausti-
'uPply of the needful element. The two engines
that are to be employed to raise the water, could
• k,
;Wise be made available for the purposes of hot or
tepid bathing. Ag :in, at the east end of the Serpen •
ltine is a vacant space of ground, somewhat below the
evel of the river. When I last passed that way, if I
enlember rightly, it was occupied by a stagnant
looking„ ditch, which under any circumstances it
4001 d be desirableto drain. Were a bath erected
7re It might be open at all hours, the dangers and
the exnosures of the river being thus completely
112::',itled• I need not le;:gthen this letter, nor will 1
.4 one word more, than just to say that a few re-
from your fen, to gi‘e point and effect to my
