Water crisis at Murray dam prompts immediate action
Vice chairman vw T Hill stated rapid reservoir discharge during severe drought has caused upstream dam slides that disturbed concrete paving protecting the dam. He warned further damage as storage drops and said raising capacity to 2,000,000 acre feet would cost £500,000 but is impractical without sufficient inflow. If drought persists, flow may fall to 2 ft endangering Albury Corowa Rutherglen and Wahgunysh water supplies.

Cobram Progress Association outlines water and signage aims
The Cobram Progress Association held a meeting on Thursday with President Mr T Harris presiding. They declined a request to erect a memorial stone due to few post mortems in ten years and discussed approaching MLA Mr McDonald to press for Mortussy’s erection. They reported no funds for irrigation water to Koonoomos setters and planned to assess aid via May and Hanser. They noted road sign erection near schools and Station Road beautification funding limits. They discussed possible railway sleeper reductions and considered large pipes on Queen Street. Swimming pool feasibility was raised to improve child swimming lessons, with options to fund via net revenue or Water Commission cooperation. The meeting adjourned to next session.

The long continued cough has affected meat and vegetables, urging race cultivation and mulching to keep crops growing. Warns on seed germination, watering in absence, and spreading manure to ensure even growth. Advises sowing at 20 day intervals through end of March or April for beet and spinach, with careful pest control for beet and prickly pine beetle.
