State coal mine output urged to save costs and cut NSW imports
Westhazzi deputation told Premier and Railways Minister that boosting State mine output could save about £100,000 to £260,000 yearly and end imports of New South Wales coal. Critics note the mine loses money, with promises of 600,000 tons yearly growth, calls for a coal board, cheaper small-quantity coal, and reallocation of coal lands. Surface subsidence and mining law issues are raised, stressing public good and surface-owner rights.
