Temperance Debate in Australia Od Isolates Alcohol Trade
An article from the Peathurst Argus reports on a Women's Christian Temperance Union conference discussion led by Mrs. Nolan. It argues for temperate regulation of alcohol while criticizing extreme positions and urging balanced action to curb abuse without closing all licenced venues. The piece contrasts sightings in Australia and New Zealand, noting that prohibition or drastic closures do not reliably reduce drinking and urging moderation and targeted closures of problem venues. Old world comparisons and calls for temperate reform are highlighted.

Land Board Hearing Rules on Burke Application
The Local Land Board examined a claim by Corrie Hythe and Alfred Burke for a 290 acre original Crown Personal Lease. The hearing weighed bona fides with Hythe’s claim that her father funded and guided her and Burke’s claim that funds came from his own means to support his daughter’s upstart land purchase. The chair ruled that Burke’s case showed bona fides and ordered a survey in his favor while disallowing a separate but similar claim by Gartia Burke after noting the applicant failed to appear.
