CRY FOR PUBLIC BATHS.
Attention of Commissioners Again
Called 20 Demand of Citizens.

Called 10 Demand of Citizens
The numerous requests for bathing
facilities by patrons of the public con
venience station, Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. have
again brought TO the attention of the
officials OF the District government the
need Of public lighthouses in Washington.
In his report to the Commissioners on
the attendance at the station. Il D.
Davis, inspector Of plumbing. says: The
first morning the station was open, the
first male patron came Ia at sos o'clock
and asked 10 use a bath compartment,
and I am informed by the attendants
that the requests for baths are many
Public baths in the District have long
been desired By the Commissioners ana
appropriations for the same have been
included in their past estimates to Con-
gress, Because, however. of the many
other public improvements in course Of
construction, the lighthouses have not
received consideration. Now. however.
that these are nearing completion, the
Commissioners feel that the question OF
public baths may again be brought 10 the
attention of Congress with a likelihood
Of success.
Commissioner Macfarland suggests that
the donation to the District by a philan-
thropic citizen of a public bath, would
meet with sincere appreciation, and would
be productive or more practical good than
the gift Of a library.
The total attendance at the public con-
venience during the month according to
II B. Davis, Inspector Of plumbing, was
30, 703; male, 27.552, and female, 6.l5l The
of ToF

Mr.. Davis estimates that the attendance
for the next month will be not less than
81 OOO.
