Carruthers Government pushes local government Act debated
The Sydney press notes a strong Carruthers Government push to enact local or municipal government across the State. Critics fear higher taxes and doubt country areas can supply suitable councilors. The bill would shift land tax to councils with subsidies, remove large landowner exemptions, and fund roads via local spend rather than central revenue, while some national roads stay under State control. North Coast MPs, led by Mr. Young, vote to keep the act optional, but the majority favors advancing the bill and refining details.

Cricket Curiosity Shows Trophy Twist in Two Matches
In two matches bowlers Swerver and Pitcher recorded 4 for 4 and 6 for 54 plus 2 for 49 and 6 for 59. Swerver led with 10 for 188 total and 13.5 average while Pitcher totaled 8 for 101 and 13 average, yet Pitcher won the trophy by aggregate figures. The puzzle rests on combined totals rather than per match averages.

The Middle Man Opinion On Bacon Prices And Exiled North Coast Farmers
In Sydney first class bacon pies fetch about 2d per lb while bacon markets run from five pence half-penny per lb. Authorities cite manufacturing costs at one penny half-penny per perch, arguing pig growers gain little and the producer bears losses until cooperatives form. The note cites the North Coast farmer exodus to Chili and a Legislative Assembly discussion, with the Premier denying grounds for state departure and O Sullivan urging English press contradiction.
