municipal' BATHS. TMrty-tlx American CIUm Have Thaa# Ualpa to Hi Within the p**t few year* « number cf municipalities In this country have established all-lbe-year-round municipal bath houses, while others hare added to the number of or swimming plaee*. wh years past, have lieen maintained during the summer months. Information collected shows that thirty-nix cities and towns with 3000 populatloi upward, by the Untied States c of 1000, now have either all-lhe-year or summer public baths. These places arc as foHows: Boston. Brookline. Cambridge. Dedham, Holyoke. Newburyport. Quincy. Springfield, town, Worcester. Mass.; Pro’

tegon. WIs., Paul.

Minn.; San Jose, Cal. The thirty-six places In question arc distributed over sixteen States, but Massachusetts has ten and New York seven of these cities and towns. Most of the other States arc represented by one municipality only. Outside of the States of Massachusetts and New York most of the public baths are open

only In of somt

imer, and that is some of the places In Massachu setts. Tt Is known that Newark. Chicago and St. Paul have all-the-year

bath houses.

In 1805 the Ix-gislature of New York passed an act which permits any muni clpallties of that State to establish all the-year baths, and makes It compulsory for cities of 50,000 inhabitants

and over to do so.

Municipal baths, often combined with public wash bouses or laundries, are becoming more and mate common in England, and the signs of the times are that they will rapidly gain popu lar favor In this country- The laundry feature will, naturally, gain ground much more slowly than the baths. Thus far It has not been introduced In the United States further than to make a provision for washing the personal clothing of the bathers. Drying closets are also provided, so an un fortunate man with no change of clothing may be Insured of clean un-
