It is only a few years ago since a Palmerston resident was kiiled when turning on an electric light while in a bathtub. It is a dangerous prac- tice, and even if a person were to get out of a tub and. with wet feet were to turn on a switch, he, too, is liable to get a shock. though we do not believe it liable to terminate fatally. Water is an ideal conductor and as the bathtub is connected by means of piping and the water sys- tem to the ground, it makes an ideal , ground and decreases the resistance3 of a current passing through the! “Mrs. Williams had placed the el- ectric heater on a chair hesidu inn tub while taking a path.

One of the hydro regulations. we believe. is that no lamp is permitted in a bathroom where it can be turned on and off by the person in the tub.
