State Highway takeover urged by Manning Shire Council
At a Sept. meeting Dr. Hammond urged the Department of Main Roads to assume full control of the State Highway through the shire and handle all construction and maintenance with their own staff. He argued the shire’s enginee rtime on the highway is costly and misallocated to minor roads, proposing that better major road maintenance would help producers move goods to market. Dr. Breckenridge and Dr. Machin supported the move as economical, noting the shire costs for the engineer, clerical staff, and communications would be reduced against the department’s revenue from supervision work. The council debated staffing, costs, and the balance of work, and left the matter for six months.
