Cairns Town Council backs Anzac Memorial Park plans
A Cairns council meeting approves reserving allotment of section L town for an Anzac Memorial Park. The council must fence and beautify the area, install seating, and manage the public space. A separate note confirms opposition to a prior plan to use the site for a carnival.
Quarry Wage Rates and Powder Man Dispute
A dispute over pay rates in a quarry area emerges as workers seek 1d per hour in wet work, with standard rates at 2/- or 2/1 for dry or wet conditions. The men push for the 1d to apply to the highest quarry rate, and the matter is to be referred to the North patented Employers Association for opinion. Debate includes the powder man’s rate of 2/0 and whether he can claim the Game rate for the whole week on other tasks. The Town Clerk notes need for accommodation and a changing room, and a motion to send a reply is recorded.
