Cobram drainage scheme advances after treasury push
The Cobram shire moves the first drainage stage costing 11 700 pounds after council approval on May 15 and treasury reconsideration on May 18. A post war works program for drainage channels and footpaths sought 52 000 pounds, later reduced to about 40 000 with August subsidy aims. Detailed surveys and local plans were repeatedly requested, with ministerial insistence on properly prepared plans before further funding.
