Federal capital debate flares in Melbourne and Victoria
In Melbourne and Victoria sharp debate over federation continues with critics urging early site selection for the federal capital, preferably Bombala with Eden port, stressing cost and unity. The Swine fever campaign draws criticism for its muddled, costly local inspections and a push for a unified veterinary approach across Shires. Local notices cover church events, cricket plans, and community improvements, while business matters note stock inspections, auctions, and plans for Maddingley Park upgrades.
