Yarrawonga Lake Plan At Public Meeting Discussed
At a Yarrawonga public meeting Mr Reoui advocated constructing a lake to benefit residents. He explained the impounded water could rise to a level matching the Tol7 flood, a large volume about 22 feet above summer level. Mr Rennie added the water would rise no more than nine inches per mile and the Corowes river height would stay unchanged. The group could seek timber clearance, and the lake would aid boating and attract visitors. A committee was formed to study the proposal.

Wheat Pool Test Case Heads to Supreme Court Review
In the First Civil Court last week Justice McArthur reserved the decision on the Victorian Wheatgrowers' Corporation versus Willan De Edwards of Wilby. The case seeks a refund of £40 18s 0d for the 1929 30 wheat crop after an advance of 4d per bushel left uncovered by the lower average price. About £168,000 is involved, with Gallagher, Hem, and Shell for the Corporation and Adam for Edwards. The matter stems from disputes over farm advances and price shortfalls affecting several farmers.
