In other portions of the building are conveniences to enable women to do their own washing, ironing and drying at acharge of four cents per hour. The edi- fice and internal improvements cost about $4,000; but, unfortunately, the machinery wa: notall perfect, and tended in a measure to prevent the complete success of the establish- ment. Up to November, 1858, however, the establishment was much patronized, especially in summer, and as many as 1,528 persons have bathed in the house on a summer's day; while tu the women who washed there the place was an ap, ted convenience. But the croton water rents mount to $300 per annum, the taxes to 3240 more, besides the cost of labor, superintendence, gas, and other necessary ex- penses, overbalanced the receipts the first year over $1,600, though the defic de $200.
