Community politics clash over county representation plan
A local council debates warding for Perth and neighboring areas under a new Bill, arguing for fixed seats for Picton, South Bunbury, Picton Crescent, and Burrs cut, while warning the plan would split the country into squares. The piece also covers a cart accident involving Miss Baldock, preparations for the Tom Bell benefit, a report on river channel silting and harbor works, a prize donation for Brunswick prizes at Bunbury Show, a dairy cow prize proposal, a lightning incident near Benger disrupting rail staff, and council business on road and bridge matters.
