States Accomplishments in Defence Programme Progress
In Canberra on January 4 8 Senator Collings outlined substantial progress in the defence programme across Queensland. About 1500000 pounds worth of work has been undertaken including roads aerodromes hospital camps fortifications and similar projects. Some 16000 men are employed with state instrumentalities aiding execution. Equivalents of 2300 miles of gravelled road have been built in the past 12 months, a notable achievement. Strategic needs require a major highway to ensure safe and certain access if conditions preclude the usual routing. The Allied Works Council faced vast road building and river bridging tasks prior to the wet season. The old New South Wales Main Roads Department was enlisted to boost efforts of the Queensland Main Roads Commission, which has carried out a tremendous defense program. Although active construction began last September, the trunk road completion is now assured for its intended purpose. The project used 4010 men and likely the greatest road-building plant ever assembled in the Southern Hemisphere.
