Fremantle Council Meets on Accounts and Quarry Leases
Fremantle Municipal Council held a regular fortnightly meeting with the mayor and councillors present. The report covered bank balances as of March 1, 1914, amended valuations and a recommendation to adopt them, and a detailed discussion over Cuffe’s quarry lease and land boundaries. The Works Committee reviewed progress on Mandurah-road and frog-road works, wasteful lines of inquiry into land parcels, and requested steps to widen High-street for a double track tramway, with a plan to invite competitive designs and tenders for building leases, valuations, and related costs. The session closed with debate and a decision to limit widening expenses to £200, and adjournment at 10 p.m.
