Town Hall Fire Destroys Bowen Building After 1863 Records Lost
A Bowen Town Hall, a wooden structure with contents valued at £2000, was destroyed by fire. The incident wiped out municipal records since 1863. Council meetings have grown tense, with an alderman-employee dispute ending in a police court cost. A motor car accident, a boy’s death after a fight, and several fires in Shepards Town are noted amid a string of local incidents.
