An old public notice lists Barton’s Safety Coach Service operating from Monday to Friday with a midweek exception. It cites local stops such as Pallick’s Corner and Hen Dost Obes in a small town district, with Wednesday exclusions and a note about San Dep 0 AL and PAHICK’s Corner.
The notice appears in the Canberra Times outlining subscription or publishing terms with references to Kingston Kingston and local vendors. It mentions rates and dates related to a canteen and dining services, along with names and places such as Deane Gateh and Haren. The text is garbled but indicates a formal public notice regarding publishing rates and arrangements.
Canberra forecast issued by the State Meteorologist at 8 p.m. calls for becoming cloudy and unsettled conditions with periods of rain. Fresh northerly winds expected.
The piece argues Canberra should receive a new form of government and a shift toward private enterprise. It criticizes the Federal Capital Commission for restricting investment, cites a failed motor body painting venture, and urges moving private capital to spur growth, population, and national security. It predicts new industries once policy changes occur and calls for ending the commission’s restrictive stance.

A garbled OCR style report outlines a convention with scattered references to Chiang, Mekon, and various groups.
