The Minister for Transport Mr M F Bruxner replied to a Central Executive resolution urging relief for shire councils from contributing to main road costs. He outlined that since 1924 the state bears most main road costs, with councils paying half originally, now with the state covering most work on state highways and trunk roads, and 75 percent of bridges on other main roads, leaving limited funds to increase assistance.
