H O Elliott MLA and wheat grower from Ashton voices strong opposition to the current relief plan. He argues a cash bounty on all wheat delivered is fairer and would better protect primary producers from losses, criticizing freight reductions as insufficient. He urges immediate aid rather than later rebates, warning the scheme may worsen farmer hardship.
Forbes Municipal Council receives 2500 from the Unemployed Relief Council to lay a rising main from the pumping station to the reservoir. The grant is half grant and half loan, with 1250 repaid over years. The measure aims to create work for 20 men amid rising demand.
A Canberra telephoned report states the Prime Minister refused a deputation of 30 wheat growers and allied interests from all states except Queensland and Tasmania. The group urged a 4d per bushel export bounty paid directly to growers, arguing a promise to keep superphosphate prices and citing the Premier Conference's welfare recommendations. The deputation contends funds are needed to aid non grower users while safeguarding national wheat output.
The Forbes Orpheus Society presents its third grand concert at the Town Hall on Wednesday night November 30. Violinist Maa Amin and baritone Mr Allan Elvery will perform with the choir and orchestra under Conductor Chelierelle, with tickets available for booking and a reception after the event.

The government plans to drop the superphosphate subsidy for wheat growers while reallocating aid via farm relief committees. An export bounty is rejected, but the repeal frees 21,000,000 for direct assistance, to be allocated on a graduated scale to farmers in need. Cabinet and United Austin Party members discussed the policy shift after electors urged action.
A special Forbes Municipal Council meeting debated a petition signed by 200 business leaders and dole recipients urging a government relief grant of 47600 for general works. The council planned to send a deputation to Sydney to press funding for arrears of rates and an extended loan, while some members urged using local funds to hire workers and cautioned against overreliance on state aid.
A jumble of disjointed words and phrases appears to mix weight loss talk with unrelated terms and garbled language. The readable pieces suggest a generic health and fitness theme but lack coherent details, names, dates, or concrete claims.
A public meeting adopted drive funds for Forbes District Hospital and the effort progresses with social functions this week at local residences. Officials report generous support and expect substantial pledges before autumn. A committee meeting is planned at Cornhill Chambers tonight to organize fundraising.
