Immigrant arrivals fall as state supports child welfare gains
The Commonwealth reports 5 902 total arrivals in the first four months, 4 584 were immigrants and 2 318 selected with Victoria 2 409 New South Wales 1 828 Queensland 966 Western Australia 454 South Australia 147 and Tasmania 54. Death rates for children under one have declined to a record low, credited to the State Children Department’s supervision of foster care and tighter licensing of homes. The federal maternity allowance reached 1 032 710 pounds by May 40, while adoption and midwifery regulation improved child welfare. A note on New York and London populations is included, and Kalgoorlie plans an Old Timers Association event for 24 years since 1895 arrivals.

Settlers press for railway survey between Goomalling and Merredin
Mr Scaddan told a Fork- Friday deputation that survey work on the Goomalling-Dowerin-Merredin line would begin within two years while noting the Beattie-Workrking line would reach Merredin soon. He warned the present route of the line was a grave error, starving good wheat country. The Premier has provided the needed survey to relieve urgent regional demand.
