Renewed agitation for Bega Eden railway and tramway debate
Speakers in Bega push to revive the Bega Eden railway agitation arguing tramway plans to Tathra could threaten rail links. They recall past breakwaters and harbor works, call for a united approach, raise wire pulling concerns, and propose reactivating the railway committee with local subscriptions to fund continued campaigning. The meeting endorses a petition and appoints a renewed committee structure.
