1065W
§ Colonel LANE FOXExcluding slipper baths, plunge baths, swimming baths and baths provided for officials only, 32 pithead bath installations had been completed by the end of 1926, and four were in course of construction. The number of bath cubicles in these installations is 1,954. I know of at least one additional installation with 66 cubicles which has been commenced during the present year by the Miners' Welfare. Committee, but I shall not have complete returns for 1927 until early next year.
