Fire break regulation debated by North Queensland officials
Hon M McIntosh warns against making Railways Commissioner insurer of fires caused near railway lines. He cites Queensland as a model with liability capped at 500 pounds and calls for a stringent regulation requiring landowners to maintain breaks. The aim is equitable protection without heavy damages for railways or landowners. The issue involves the Northern Bush Fires Association and Bush Fires Advisory Committee.
