Geraldton Roads Board approves tenders and lays plans
The Geraldton Roads Board held its monthly meeting with chairman L. Davis and members Grant Saunders Gould and secretary Kidd. Accounts totaling £193 9s 9d were approved for payment amid tenders accepted for Greenough road clearing and construction. Fresh tenders were ordered for 15 to 20 chains of gravel road on the main Eastern road. The Moonyoonooka gravel pit reserve was extended to five acres and control placed under the board’s supervisor. Correspondence covered zone alterations at Greenough crossing and Kradu reserve, a rate-book extension, and a balance sheet timeline. Objections to closing a Moongoonooka recreation reserve boundary were addressed, and a proposed closure of a road near the Moongoonooka State school was resolved as unnecessary. The supervisor will report on bad road segments and future permanent repairs.
