REGULATIONS.

1. These regulations apply to the planted and enclosed grounds at Hanmer Plains, in the Nelson Land District, which are the property of the Crown, and in which are situated the thermal springs which supply the bathing-places (hereinafter referred to as “baths and swimming-pools”) known as “The Hanmer Springs Baths.”

2. The grounds are open to visitors to the baths and swimming-pools free of charge, but subject to these regulations and the powers of any authority having charge or control of such grounds or any part thereof.

3. The fee to be charged for the use of one bath shall be one shilling for each person for each time it is used; or three tickets for two shillings.

4. No person shall be entitled to use a bath for a longer period than thirty minutes at one time.

5. The charge for using a swimming-pool only shall be sixpence for each person, or each time it is used; but persons staying one full day or for a longer period at the Sanatorium may, upon an order from the manager, have free admission to the swimming-pools as often as desired.

6. A clean towel will be supplied by the caretaker to every paying visitor for the purpose of using in the bath-rooms or swimming-pools.
