Skirmish Over Health Inspections Delays Bridgetown Board Action
In Bridgetown and nearby towns a clash between the Tenth Commissioner and local raid boards over health inspections continues. Boards will wait for MPs to discuss with the Health Minister before deciding. A separate tale recalls a man delivering a road safety lecture after a delayed cinema visit. He faced rain, an empty film, and a long trek home, while local praise goes to a Bridgetown street meeting. The column notes potential team changes for West Perth and upcoming changes to a Bridgetown school-site near the saleyards.
