Northampton Notes Describe Local Industry and Road Hazards
The Northampton district relies on farming for livelihood with Dalgetys Elder and Westralian Farmers operating three miles yards and sheep sales attracting buyers. Town improvements include a 50 foot frontage sale of a former Davies ham shop and oil piping to the railway to reduce lighting costs. Roads near Martins on Ogilvie Road are dangerous after rains, a drains project is urged, and the local Woods Board is urged to tackle drainage for safety. The rites of J P O Shea are noted, and the Northampton Rite Club hosted a final dance in King’s Hall at the old venue to support the club.
