After two years of experimentation the Dodge Brothers adopt a fixed standard for their car line. The standardization keeps the model essentially unchanged annually while refining details. With large production, spare parts can be supplied at very low prices through Dalgety & Co. and local agents in Sydney and New South Wales.
Gloucester Shire Council convened with most councillors present except Councillor Moore on active service. The president noted no time for minutes but announced refunds on forestry royalty for poles and discussed repatriation, land valuation under the Land Act, and local adaptation of the Fisheries Department acclimatization plan. Decisions covered road inspections, temporary delays for Manning Shire matters, light saving cooperation, property rating exemptions for a church paddock, and related correspondence.
Council debates earlier decision to fund a foot bridge over the Avon at Crowther's road Stratford. A £60 grant from the Quarcil is offered toward bridge costs with residents to cover excess or provide labour in washout risk areas. Several motions cover road work, fencing, race meeting permissions, gate relocations, and road repairs with engineer input sought for multiple projects. Health and sanitation reports flag unsatisfactory depot management, waste and sewer concerns, and enforcement of health ordinances.
The council reappoints Magnan Crotraky as auditor at £12 19s per half year and approves a sanitary contract draft. It also agrees to call tenders for timber for cathe dales, orders road work including culverts and a Manning access, and appoints a special committee to coordinate with the engineer on road maintenance.
