Efficiencies in Pilgrim Department Criticized by Graziers
Winton branch urged the Graziers' Conference to ask the P M G Department to revert to the old system of vesting telephones each morning. Mr C B P Bell said current charges rose hundreds of percent and efficiency fell. He cited a fault claim near Ofracombe and a bushfire related outage where service was unavailable. Roy Wall of Kynuna and GC D Leake of Hughenden backed the critique. The motion passed.

New Railway for the North Contested Amid Conference Deliberations
The Gragiers' Conference debated a Richmond to Croydon railway proposed by the U.G.A. and Amended to Richmond to Forsayth. Dr Allingham supported a Richmond Croydon line but others favored Forsayth or Osiris coast connections. Mr Champneys urged a Forsayth route, while Mr Collins called the Croydon line impractical. The amended motion sought a preferred corridor, with penalties for truck diversion discussed by the Branch and consignor Serenege cited for seasonal diversions.
