Sugar mill proposal discussed at Atherton hearings
Members of Salar Com and Atherton witnesses testified on Wednesday at the Court House in support of a central sugar mill for the district. Key witness H R K Maguire described cotton and cane areas, proposed mill site on Maslin Creek, and government funding under the Sugar Works Act. Observers noted land values, rainfall, and labour availability, with local landholders subscribing to the evidence and the commission promising further visits.
