A local Christmas service is planned at the Methodist Church with details about attendees and times, though the text is garbled and hard to read. The notice references community members and a ceremony held in a church, with unclear specifics.
The headmaster will depart Muickhowth with a formal farewell. Jonteamiay and Kunwa Ha Mat discuss the upcoming transition as students prepare for the Christmas vacation term end.
The Blackheath event discussed included President Al Porter presiding and notable attendees such as J. S. Rapking W. Koralake W. Hobtuxon CR Thomimin E. Burton BF. Constable and others. The meeting covered show planning, finances, and arrangements, including venue and safety, with a vote on officers and a proposal to invite the Governor to attend the show planning meeting.
The council reviews municipal estimates for revenue and expenditure, debating rate changes on unimproved rateable land, street works costs, and staff allowances. It notes income, proposed outlays for road works, pump station power, water supply, and personnel changes, with adjustments to rates and staffing to balance the budget.
The Municipal Council argued the Main Roads Board held power over road restrictions and footpaths. A motion to refer the Cowra Council inquiry to Blackheath and seek ministerial guidance was carried after debate, with Alderman Durune seconding and Alderman St. Colom proposing the remit.
