Stoves from Nowhere Mystery Baffles Melbourne

A bizarre series of stone throwing and knocking at the home of Mr. Neaves near Rordepoort prompts police watchfulness and a native constable’s presence. Neaves tracks sounds to unseen assailants, finds no intruder, and continues nightly patrols as residents speculate about a supernatural prank. A Melbourne City Council letter about rubber road experiments is read and referred to the Public Works committee for a later update from Ceylon.

Strained NSW Millers and Wheat Pool Clash Over Prices

Relations between New South Wales millers and the voluntary wheat pool authorities have grown tense. Millers claim the pool sets an unfavourable price of 58 shillings per bushel for supplies, hindering export flour trade. They argue London prices are lower, disadvantaging local firms and foreign mills. They seek only to be allowed to buy when prices match global levels, not preferential treatment. Some mills recently closed, causing unemployment, with blame placed on the pool authorities.
