Council Notes on Highway Works and Flood Repairs
The Engineer reported on last Friday’s meeting that McCredie inspected the Highway last Monday and was satisfied with its condition and progress. Work includes two baby graders, one on the Northern and one on the Southern section, with Mulligan on the Northern and Farley on the Southern. Signposts and warning boards will be erected near schools and at the railway, to be finished before Christmas. Debates covered Shedden’s contract, maintenance provisions, and praise for the contractor’s faithful performance under trying conditions. Flood repairs will be completed soon with a district official due next Monday for final inspection.

Council Acts on Stock Thefts and Road Herding
The council debated stock missing from the pound and possible action against offenders. Officers reported owners shepherding stock on roads and discussed an agistment charge of 30 shillings per year per head. All stock should move on daylight only, with permits for limited cases. No action was taken on stray stock on roads.
