Road Board labour row sparks debate over contracts
Letter writers from Northampton and surrounding districts dispute minutes of the Road Board meeting held July 1 1916. They argue teak and Buddaway road work was largely done by voluntary labour supplied by farmers with teams, while board claims no rebates or special allowances were given. They urge action against rabbits damaging crops and call for government intervention. The mixed farming note discusses practical farming ideas and potential meat production improvements.
