Wool price plan urged by Australian growers council
Delegates from the Australian Wool and Meat Producers Federation and the Australian Woolgrowers Council push for a floor price to curb violent short term wool slumps. They cite historic 1880s to 1930s declines in key wool types and warn a 10 per cent drop would devastate sheep prices, urging government backed measures.

Works Committee Meeting Discusses Road Repairs and Bridge
The Works Committee reviewed road complaints from W. Nicholla and C. A. Bohnberg and agreed to have the engineer arrange repairs and an estimate for continued work past the racecourse. It considered minor fixes to Prince Street road and the footbridge, with a call for a full bridge estimate. Officials discussed information requests to Albury and Wagga Wagga councils on notice boards and cost, and decided to proceed with patching until plant becomes available. The report also covered vehicle maintenance, engine replacement, and a temporary assistant engineer appointment. Continuous electricity extension plans and a case by C. R. Hohnberg regarding property electrification were debated, with next meeting slated to address the issues.
