Baths and washhouses. The (English) Public Health Act, 1936, ss. 231-234, enables local authorities to provide public baths, wash-houses and bathing places, and make bye-laws for these if under their management; also for swimming baths and bathing pools which are not under their management. This Act repeals the (English) Baths and Wash-houses Acts, 1846 to 1899. As to the provision of baths for the use of miners, see (English) Coal Mines Act, 1911, s. 77.
