Educational Feature of Bathing

We have not felt that 1t was necessary
to urge the Council or Board Of Alder
men to accept the offer OF Mr. John r.
Branch to present the city OF Richmond
with public baths to cost S25,W0 upon
condition that the management be left
TO a commission to be named Ivy Mr..
Branch and that the expense of malnte-
nance be borne by the city. 1t goes with
out saying that the offer will be accepted.
This institution will be a publ benefac-
ton In more ways than one 1t Will be
blessing to thousands Of men who have
not dcsiable convenlences at home a
luxury such as those who have all their
lives been accustomed to good bathing
facilities cannot appreciate. When Il
man has toiled all the day long IN tho
lot season and has come out of the shop
with grimy sweat upon him. there is
nothing to him quite so luxurious as q
shower bath or a plunge bath OF clean
water. 1t literally makes new mar
of him. 81
But that is not all. a public bath is
an educational institution. There Is nc
letter way to promote public cleanliness
than 70 develop private cleanliness. The
man who gets into the habit of being
clean in person, who reaches pom
where cleanliness OF person is necessary
TO his comfort and peace of mind, VII
be an advocate of public cleanliness. The
man who requires a clean person ant
clean clothes will also require clear
streets. Ono clean man will not create
n demand for clean streets, but Guy
full of such men will, and 1t us plain tc
us ms though already II reality that these
public baths are going TO have an I'M
mediate effect upon the general cleanli
ness of the city of Richmond. Many
~ MS have been working on this line
for wears, trying to create a sentiment
IN Richmond for public tidiness, and we
hone that something has been accom-
plished. But Mr.. I3ranch's public bath:
will do more for public cleanliness u
| one wear than all the preaching OF
| generation.

The Citv Gas Works

The Council went on record last night
rs opposed to the sale or lease Of the
city gas works. THAT wns to be ex-
lease on any reasonable terms should be
submitted to u vote of the people It wotlld
be defeated by an Overwhelming, major
ity. and If the Council had presumed to
dispose Of tho works without tho consent
of the people. there had been q popular
protest here, as emphatic as that Of tho
people of Philadelphia. when such an ut
tempt was made by the councils OF that
city, Municipal operation Of tho gas
works has not been brilliantly successful,
but the people regard their gas works
and their water works somewhat as sd
cred institutions, and they will not con-
sent for either to pass out Of their con-
troll. Tho gas works have not had q fair
chance, for they hnvo been unpardonably
stnted and tho people think they are
entitled to another trial under moro lib-
cral treatment. The works will be rcha :
bilitated and put In thorough repair, and
If, under improved conditions, they are
not successfully operated. inc people may
then be inclined to consider the question
of lease But they nre certainly not IN
that frame of mind now and the action
OF the Council last night is q fair ex-
preston Of the popular viii.
The water works will also he given
better chance. The settling basin VIII pc
in operation before the end Of the present
year, and there Is every promise that
clear and pure water will then be as
sured for all time to come.
