Bridgetown Road Board Apologises Over Town Planning Request

The Bridgetown local road board faced a demand for an apology from Mr. Davidson after a Gazette note claimed town planning work had begun. The board disputed this, noting no direct request to the Commissioner, only an invitation to discuss a town planning scheme. They agreed to apologise to avoid further dispute. Mr. Davidson later supported the issue of a new country town school, with the board hoping the apology would satisfy the Commissioner's demand for amends.
