Mt Barker notes on railway work and repatriation events
The Railway Department plans a troop line beside the Mt Barker coal yard to speed fruit shipments direct to tracks during export season. Consignments continue to move to the cool store as growers prepare for February shipments. The Red Cross Sewing Circle and Repatriation Society announce socials, welcomes home events, decorated halls, and catered suppers as returned soldiers arrive. Local residents travel to Denmark Show, judge fruit, and attend concerts to raise repatriation funds.

At the ordinary council meeting Mayor W J Day chaired with Crs Downes, Orte, Bailey, Catling, Boyle, Collins, Hill and Bell present. The minutes were confirmed, and the lighting committee reported on John Robinson’s letter about municipalising lighting and a pending account for stage lighting. A deputation to Senator Pearce on coaling ships in quarantine drew a telegram from Pearce and later Navy Department inquiries. The council agreed to public meetings and to clear unused land or incur costs if landowners fail to clear. Two new street names Doy and Jellicoe were chosen.
