Liverpool Plains Shire votes on rate in January and February meetings
At January and February Liverpool Plains Shire meetings a 14d in the pound rate was debated. Dr Hawker moved to revert to 11d, arguing losses from 14d would affect construction. Dr Brennen and Cr Simson supported 14d, but the motion failed. The alternative to adopt last meeting estimates based on 14d passed 3 to 2. The Independent notes the division among councillors.

Page cites personal stake in hydro scheme costs
At Kempsey last week Dr Earle Page defended the Marence River hydro project noting that years ago the Department paid about £5 daily to investigate. He said he spent around £2000 of his own money, delivering the cheapest electricity in the State. About 500 farmers now use the system with prices as low as four pence per unit. He warned that sending junior officials to economise led to wasted funds from inexperienced advice.
