MT. HilleS, of tho Free Bath AssoOia-
tion Sends n Self Explanatory Letter
to City Council.
The following letter has been sent to
City Council by William s Hllles:
THE Wilmington Frss Bath AssoclR-
tlon was organized some years ago for
the purpose OF supplying free bath
houses In this city. Through the libsr al
ity of Job H Jackson, shortly after the
organization, a bath-house was presented
to It by him, which has been In constant
use sincs then until the present season.
"rhe organization has been dependen {
entirely upon voluntary subscriptions.
bat at present II has been found impos-
sible by the management TO secure q con
tinuRnce Of voluntary subscriptions suffi
cient for the purposes Of the association.
The matter has been discussed at eonsid
erable length. and it hss been decided
that, as the enterprise is q public one,
and one which, IN other states, is man
aged by the public authorities and should
be 30 managed here, the only practicable
solution Of the difficulty Is to
band all tho property OF the sssocIs
tion over to the city, free Of cost, and
disbAnd the organization, which mas at
least, started the free-bsth movement In
our city. We therefore propose, and on
behalf of the association, maze this prop
osition TO you, that we will transfer stc
the city sll the property OF the assoca
tion, free from any obligations whatsc-
ever, aud with no conditions imposed
excepting that the property shall be useo
/ for the public benefit"
