Ratepayers Debate Burra Council Rates and Memorial Plans
At a Burra Ratepayers Meeting Dr Baulderstone praised His Worship and urged civic support as the council faces higher rates to maintain a scattered town. Dr Lee warned of a difficult year without rate increases, while speakers pressed for back street amenities, footpaths and lighting. Councillor Woollacott opposed rate rises, questioned the use of £400 Centenary funds, and urged prudence before memorial schemes. discussions centered on rate raises, the balance sheet, and possibly purchasing the Burra Talkies as an investment.
