Main Roads allocation up on last year

Despite heavy cuts in public works for the year the Main Roads allocation rises by 2.68 percent from last year. A total of £6100 is set for maintenance and permanent works across North-west Highway Longreach Winton Longreach Jundan Road Morella Areennilis Longreach Sugocot Longreach Barcal and related routes with the Shire to bear 38 percent. River Road notice notes little likelihood of work on the Longreach Winton stretch this financial year as investigations continue and priority remains with ME.C. schemes already released or due.

Delay in Railway Cottages Hampers Construction

Ironically timber arrives for two more homes while the first house nears finish but top plates are awaited. Workers report window frames cut out and ready, yet foundation timber is unsuitable. The Railway Department delivered timber not fit for foundations.

Hospital Board Loans and Ambulance Funding Proposed

The Insurance Commissioner advised the Hospitals Board that loans of £2500 and £1500 for planning a new hospital at Muttaburra and a steam laundry at Longreach cannot be advanced yet due to credit limits. A new application will be made, while authorities consider borrowing £2700 for Muttaburra medical officer plans and £6300 to air condition the Longreach facility, plus £945 for an ambulance vehicle conversion. Leave for Matron Griffits and Matron Naylor was approved, and nurse appointments and staff transfers noted.
