HOT SPRINGS BATHS.
Why the Hot Springs baths should
Not He HemOVed.

Washington Critic: Gen. W. p.
Walsh, Mayor OF Hot Springs, Ark,
who was before the Senate Committee
on Public Lands recently, in regard TO
the bill introduced into the Senate TO
remove the lighthouses from the gov
eminent reservation, explained to the
committee the nature of the waters OF
the thermal springs, and showed that
to carry them through pipes or other
wise distance from the springs would
result in freeing the gases upon
which the efficacy of the waters so
largely depends, and so destroy their
medical value. A Critic reporter, in
conversation with him afterward,
asked what the idea OF those who pro-
posed the removal was. The General
said;
"They propose that the lighthouses
shall be removed and the reservation,
about 1000 feet front on the creek, be
ornamented by flower gardens, That
is beautiful plan, except there is no
soil there, only tufa on which plants
will not grow. Besides, the removal
OF the lighthouses now there would
leave nine excavations in the tufa
which could never be properly filled
up, because there is a hot spring in
each one OF them, and TO I'LL Thorn NJ
would be TO destroy the springs,
would anything be gained by re-
moving the lighthouses from the res
ervation and putting them on private
roperty?" Queried the Critic.
"No," replied Gen. Walsh COR
the contrary it would tend TO lessen
not destroy the effectiveness OF th,
supervision which the government
superintendent OF the reservation ex
ercises under the law over the bath
houses. All the citizens of Hot Spring
want and all the visitors want is tina
| the superintendent visit the bath
houses and see that they are KEEP
clean, and that their patrons are right
ly treated that there are no excessiv,
charges and that the service is proper
ly and cheerfully rendered. Beyon'
that we ask nothing.
