A garbled OCR style entry from Tengemah shire Council in February references contracts, supply and delivery of sanitary goods, and various names, places, and items. The text is largely unreadable, with many misspelled words and jumbled phrases, making precise details difficult.
Mr T. Kelly reports on the Cobram Electric Scheme under the Order in Council for engine drivers and assistants. The shire faces costs of £8 3s for 48 hours work per week plus £2 2s for Sundays and holidays at time and a half, with minimum plant wages at £7 5s 6d. The total wage burden is around £104 extra, plus 75% of charcoal at 1d per ton, affecting the Waterworks rate and project finance, with recommendations to proceed cautiously and seek alignment with existing rates before committing further.
A long report from Wilsonia and Corumbby details trials of superphosphate and other phosphates across farms. Mr Lutesman notes higher yields with fallow practices and discusses the value of superferts for pasture after a main crop, urging continued use as a paying investment.
An ad-like notice touts Rexona for foot comfort and relief from soreness. The text repeats the claim and includes garbled lines suggesting a larger promotional tone about comfort and relief.
An OCR fragment lists various local positions and organizations including a bank manager, state service, church leaders, electoral registrars, school roles, cemetery chairs, agriculture show and sports club, Oddfellows Lodge, and a provident society. Names like Hughes, J. Fowles, W. Irvine, and P. J. Whitty appear among titles and committees.
