§ 433. Hotels; supply of water; free baths for indigent; dedication

The Secretary may grant to hotels having bathhouses attached, and to bathhouses situated in the Hot Springs National Park, as well as in the city of Hot Springs, Arkansas, the right to install, maintain, and use, either in said bathhouses or in connection with the rooms of said hotels or the bathhouses attached to said hotels, as many bathtubs as in his discretion he may deem proper and necessary for the public service and the amount of hot water will justify. The superintendent shall provide and maintain a sufficient number of free baths for the use of the indigent. All titles given or to be given by the United States shall explicitly exclude the right to the purchaser of the land, his heirs or assigns, from ever boring thereon for hot water; and the Hot Springs, with the National Park and mountain, dedicated to the United States shall remain forever free from sale or alienation. § 434. Leases of bathhouses and sites; supply of water

The Secretary may execute leases to the bathhouses and bathhouse sites in the Hot Springs National Park, for periods not exceeding twenty years, at an annual rental of not less than $30 per tub for each tub used, payable quarterly in advance, at the office of the Park superintendent. The same rate for water rent shall be charged for the water to all parties receiving the same, whether in or outside said park. Hot water shall be supplied to the Army and Navy hospital bathhouse, the public bathhouse, the bathhouses which are authorized in the said park, the Arlington Hotel, and the bathhouses outside said park authorized on or before March 3, 1891, in the order herein named. If there shall still be a surplus of hot water the Secretary may, in his discretion and under such regulations as he may prescribe, cause hot water to be furnished to bathhouses, hotels, and families outside the said park, provided that such bathhouses, hotels, and families shall cause all connections for obtaining such hot water to be made at their own expense. All water furnished to any hotel or family for other use than bathing shall be paid for at such reasonable price, as shall be fixed by the Secretary. The Secretary shall at the expiration of each period of five years during the continance of each lease readjust the terms and amounts of payment provided for therein as may be just, but not less than the minimum herein provided.

§ 435. Rules and regulations

Full power is vested in the Secretary to provide, in all leases to be executed, against any combination among lessees or their assigns, as to ownership, prices, or accommodations at any bathhouse; as well and the Secretary is vested with power to make all needful rules and regulations as to the use of the hot water, and to prevent its waste, including full power to authorize the superintendent of the Hot Springs National Park to make examination and inspection at any time of the manner of using the hot water at any bathtub, that it may be used in proper quantity only, in order to prevent its waste; and also full power to provide and fix reasonable maximum charges for all baths, or bathing privileges, or services of any person connected with any bathhouse furnished to bathers; and for reasonable maximum charges to guests at the Arlington Hotel; and the Secretary may make all necessary rules and regulations as to said bathhouses and the service therein as shall be deemed best for the public interest, and may provide penalties for the violation of any regulation which may be enforced as though provided by Act of Congress. All leases and grants of hot-water privileges shall be held to be subject to all regulations adopted by the Secretary, and for any violation of any regulation, known to the proprietor at the time of the offense, the lease or grant may be canceled by the Secretary. It shall be expressly provided in all leases and grants of privilege for hot water that the bathhouse for which provision is made shall not be owned or controlled by any person, company, or corporation which may be the owner of or interested (as stockholder or otherwise) in any other bathhouse on or near the Hot Springs National Park; that neither the hot-water privilege granted nor any interest therein, nor the right to operate or control said bathhouse, shall be assigned or transferred by the lessee without the approval of the Secretary first obtained, in writing; and if the ownership or control of said bathhouse be transferred to any person, company, or corporation owning or interested in any other bathhouse on or near said reservation, the Secretary may, for that cause, deprive the bathhouse provided for of the hot water and may cancel the lease or agreement. All buildings to be erected in the Hot Springs National Park shall be on plans first approved by the Secretary and shall be required to be fireproof, as nearly as practicable. § 436. Investigation of applicant for lease or contract

The Secretary, before executing any lease to bathhouses or bathhouse sites in the Hot Springs National Park or contracts for the

use of hot water for bathhouses outside said park, shall make due investigation to ascertain whether the person, persons, or corporation applying for such lease or contract are not, directly or indirectly, interested in any manner whatever in any other bathhouse, lease, interest, or privilege at or near Hot Springs, Arkansas, or whether he or they belong to any pool, combination, or association so interested, or whether he or they are members or stockholders in any corporation so interested, or, if a corporation, whether its members or any of them are members or stockholders of any other corporation or association interested in any other bathhouse, lease, interest, or privilege as aforesaid, and in order to arrive at the facts in any such case he is authorized to send for persons and papers, administer oaths to witnesses, and require affidavits from applicants; and any such person making a false oath or affidavit in the premises shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and, upon conviction, shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than five years or both; and whenever, either at the time of leasing or other time it appears to the satisfaction of the said Secretary that such interest in other bathhouse, lease, interest, or privilege exists, or at any time any pool or combination exists between any two or more bathhouses or he deems it for the best interests of the management of the Hot Springs National Park and waters, or for the public interest he may refuse such lease, license, permit or other privilege, or forfeit any lease or privilege wherein the parties interested have become otherwise interested as aforesaid.

§ 437. Collection of water in park

The authority conferred upon the Secretary to collect the hot water in Hot Springs National Park shall be so construed as to require water to be collected only where such collection is necessary for its proper distribution, and not where by gravity the same can be properly utilized.

§ 438. Sale of lots

The Secretary may direct the public sale of all unsold Government lots in Hot Springs National Park, not permanently reserved on March 3, 1891, at the city of Hot Springs, after having had the same reappraised and advertised as required by law, and no lot shall be sold at less than the appraised price.

§ 439. Operation of bathhouse in connection with hotel

Nothing in sections 434 to 438 of this title shall be so construed as to

J. 62770- -6

prevent the stockholders of any hotel from operating a bathhouse in connection with such hotel as a part thereof.

§ 440. Fees charged attendants, masseurs and physicians prescribing use of hot waters

The Secretary may assess and collect from physicians who desire to prescribe the hot waters from the Hot Springs National Park reasonable fees for examination and registration; and he may assess and collect from bath attendants and masseurs operating in bathhouses receiving hot water from the park reasonable annual charges to cover the cost of physical examinations.

§ 441. Free bathhouses; use limited

Only persons who are without and unable to obtain the means to pay for baths and are suffering from ailments for which bathing in the waters of the Hot Springs National Park will afford relief or effect a cure shall be permitted to bathe at the free bathhouse on the public reservation at Hot Springs, Arkansas, and before any person shall be permitted to bathe at the free bathhouse on the reservation he shall be required to make oath, before such officer duly authorized to administer oaths for general purposes as the superintendent of the Hot Springs National Park shall designate, that he is without and unable to obtain the means to pay for baths, and any person desiring to bathe at the free bathhouse on the Hot Springs National Park making a false oath as to his financial condition shall be deemed guilty of a petty offense and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $300 and be imprisoned for not more than sixty days.

§ 442. Taking or use of or bathing in water in violation of rules and regulations

Any person who shall, except in compliance with such rules and regulations as the Secretary may deem necessary, enter or attempt to enter upon said tract, take, or attempt to take, use, or attempt to use, bathe in, or attempt to bathe in water of any spring located thereon, or without presenting satisfactory evidence that he or she (provided he or she is under medical treatment) is the patient of a physician duly registered at the office of the superintendent of the Hot Springs National Park as one qualified, under such rules which the Secretary may have made or shall make, to prescribe the waters of the Hot Springs, shall be deemed guilty of a petty offense and, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine of not more than $100. No physician who shall engage in the solicitation of patronage through the medium of drummers, or otherwise, shall be or remain registered.
