Rain keeps coming to Parkes as Bumbury reservoir tops previous low since 1921 and Beerjamit dam rises. Plans for a new Parkes Jockey Club grandstand cost about £2000. Lithgow Waratahs played poorly due to rain. Parkes beat them 26 to 2. Local councils debate per capita schooling costs, and a coroner inquiry into a brick cottage fire proceeds with a decision pending.
