§ MR. BROADHURSTasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether his attention has been called to the state of the Bathing Lake in Victoria Park; and, whether he will take measures for having it cleared out?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVRESir, I have received several complaints as to the condition of the bathing lake in Victoria Park. It appears that the hot weather this year has developed an unusual growth of vegetable matter, and makes it expedient that the lake should be cleaned out after a shorter interval than has hitherto been the case. This will be done as soon as it can be effected without causing a nuisance. In the meantime, I have been assured on medical authority that there is nothing in the state of the lake injurious to the health of the bathers or other people.
