Local and general items report Australia being admitted to the League of Nations, debates on voting, railway and transport notes, and varied notices. The page lists police, church, weather, and community events, with names such as Rev W Haulage and Senator Millen referenced in discussions about public matters and upcoming ceremonies. The document mixes political chatter, local notices, and social updates, including road and coal issues and memorial references.

Names and figures appear amid fragmented lines and scratched terms.
A garbled Sydney page outlines labor unrest over factory layoffs linked to wage policy, a government wage decision, and union tensions.

Fragmentary report of a local presidential election with candidate names and voting results.
