plans for the new city hall now In
process Of construction, was here
from Ashland Tuesday overseeing
work on the building. He found that
the brick masons had been laying
some of the Pacific faced brick wrong
side up, giving the wall rough APP
pearance that detracted from It's
beauty. This brick Is made with a
slight beyel 10 the face and must be
laid right side up to get the proper
effect. Some Of the brick wrongly
laid was taken down and put back

NEW FREE BATH HOUSE.


 More than 8 year ago the proposa for new and much enlarged free bath house on the government reser- vaticn in this city was taken up and aeitated with some degree of en- thnsiasm, until
 More mature deliberation on the subject led many to believe that an enlarged free bath house in Hot Springs would work great injury on the citizenship of Hot Springs.
 Whether it is better to have larg- CT free bath house here or not is therefore q question for debate, and there are two sides.
 II would seem selfish on the part of this city to say that the govern ment should not bathe too many in : digent persons free.
 But. the government only pretends to hathe the lndigents, and if they are really indigents, they must be fed and clothed and given medical n' . tention during the time they are here, else the hot water would certainly not prove effective.
 There is no provision for the in- digent persons who come to our city from all over the world, other than the charity of our own people. That charity is often worn threadbare.
 Just now there is not even an as- sociated charities here. because the work was too big for the provision made to perform 1t, and the organ ization was abandoned.
 Certainly We would like to see the United States government make many improvements here. We would like to see a larger free bath house, that all the halt and the lame of the world might come and be restored to health and strength and vitality in these God kissed waters
 But, down to solid theory, if the United States builds a large free bath house here, and the information goes out that it is built, the percentage of dndigents to come here for treatment will be much larger, and the per- centage of indigents coming here now is too large for the opportunities for succor.
 Theory and sentiment and dispo- sitiOn to help humanity is well and good. and certainly the people of Ho. Springs have done their share-more, one would guess who observes, than any other set of people in this corn- try--'but what of caring for the added number of indigents to be brought here?
 We want the larger free bath house. just as we want everything within the scope of our affiliations to grow and increase in proportions. but we want the growth to be along such practical lines as to save this resort from being characterized by the out side world as village of beggars
