Geraldton gas supply bill moves to second reading

In the Legislative Council last week the Geraldton Municipal Gas Supply Bill was read a second time. Hon W Patrick, MLC, moved the second reading, noting the bill enables Geraldton to acquire gas works and plant and to borrow money to pay for them. The measure aims to allow Geraldton to have a lighting plant of its own as the town grows toward city status. The bill cites a 21 year Melbourne-based agreement with the Colonial Association and proposes purchase of the works under municipal powers, with Clause 4 allowing borrowing of £13,000 to cover the cost. The council supports the measure and expects municipal management will improve lighting, though current earnings are modest. The bill was carried on a voice vote.
