Local Road Board Actions and Noxious Weeds Proposals
The board considers levies to cover sustenance fees and damages for impounded stock and orders a local paper notice for a September date. It approves repairs to Willow Gully Road and a £5 expending item, calls for tenders to clear roughly 50 chains of road, and fixes gravelling at Ogilvie to Yuta 2 Arad with James Shea at £3 19s per chain. Proposed amendments to Road Act Section 157 and Noxious Weeds Act would empower road boards to levy special rates and allow direct summonses by board inspectors to tackle weed and road issues.
