  "Personal inspection by no.1 sub-committee. Ninth day, 2 December, 1875 ... No.39 is tenanted by a person who administers galvanic baths, and he pays 10s 6d a week, exclusive of taxes for the house. There is nothing the matter with the bath itself and the apparatus connected with it, which all looks bright and shining, and in strange contrast to the building in which it is placed. This is a wretched dirty apology for a house ; the place is reeking with filth ... " -- Quote from: Sydney City and Suburban Sewage and Health Board : Eleventh progress report / NSW Legislative Assembly. Sydney : Thomas Richards, Government Printer, 1876. p.25 (Q628.0991/S Mitchell Library)
