Yarrowlumla Shire Council held a full meeting with Dr. T J Kelly in the chair. Engineer I Evans reported progress on Main Roads Schedule B including graveling Bungendore Goulburn road and work on Captain's Flat Braidwood Sparrows Foxlow Urlinila and other lines.

A 600 ft crash fence at Captain's Flat and 100 ft cutting from Copper Creek to Bog town were deferred. Several road complaints were referred to the engineer for report. The council planned repairs to Bungendore Gundarco road and Four Mile area and considered tenders for old timber on Bungendore Hill.

The council supported Goodradigbee Shire on Uriarra road as a main road and recommended an explosive magazine and petrol depot at Bungendore for shire employees.
