Council Opposes Amalgamation Over Road Costs and Boundaries
The council warned that centralised amalgamation would shift rates from main road maintenance to expansion of Robertstown, risking inadequate attention to less-populated wards. It urged careful consideration, noting higher overall costs and potential inefficiencies from long-distance plant transport and maintenance. A. W. Farley defended amalgamation, presenting road metal samples and faulting prior councils for bankruptcy and waste.
