Further, it is placed on record that:— i (a) The Council has not been supplied with any particulars as to the formation of the Wealdstone Swim­ ming club nor of its constitution or rules, nor with any evidence of its affiliation or that it is a recognised swim­ ming club.

(b) The reduced charges for admission for mem­ bers of the said Club have not been advertised as pro­ vided by Section 85, Sub-Section 2, of the Public Health Act, 1925, and are therefore illegal and unenforceable.

Ch. 51). (e) That the names of the Councillors voting in favour of the resolution or of any resolution purporting to grant or to perpetuate the grant of the exclusive use of either or both swimming baths at any times to any swimming club should be recorded and that the names of any Councillors voting in favour of reduced fees or altered fees without proper approval and advertise­ ment be also recorded on the Minutes. (/) That the proper officer at the Baths shall re­ port the number of tickets sold at reduced prices to members of a swimming club, from the 3rd July, 1934, each month to the Clerk of the Council and the Council be informed from time to time accordingly. An amendment was moved by Councillor Forbes, and seconded by Councillor Ellis— That the Motion before the Meeting be referred to the ap­ propriate Committee of the Council with a view to their submitting a report as to methods whereby the whole matter may be regularised for the forthcoming season.
