Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-06-29


''The need of public baths, where every.
body can go without charge, is imperative.
If the city fails to see the necessity, and
act on it, 1 am in hopes that some of our
moneyed men will devote their attention to
it. Owners of mills whose men frequent
the river banks could well afford the small
expense of constructing such bathing places.
'In connection with this case would say
that the proposed fire and patrol boat will
be of vast service in saving life along the
river, but it will not serve the end of pub
lie baths"
The following is complete list of all
drowned persons who were afterward ldentl-
fed. 1t is taken from the Coroner's records
since 1887, and shows the cause in each case.
All were during the summer months and
are directly attributable to inability to
swim:
