Naval dock costs and Australian capacity debated

An article discusses the need for a large modern dry dock in Australia to service battleships like the Rodney. It details the scale of international comparisons, including the 100,000 ton capacity of British and Singapore docks, and argues that Australia lacks a suitable facility locally, with Singapore as the nearest alternative. The piece notes the strategic importance of a domestic naval repair base and outlines the technical and logistical challenges involved in constructing and operating a major dock.

Indemnity For The Ballet Contemplated In Brisbane Debate

The Lord Mayor promised to consider a public meeting to discuss a citizens guarantee to the Covent Garden Russian Ballet for Brisbane's 9 season.

They weigh prestige against local finances and the impact on Brisbane’s cultural standing. The Australian Theatres Ltd manager cites high touring expenses and limited yet costly opportunities for orchestras and productions.
