Manilla clock project blocked by main roads clash
Manilla council learned the Works and Local Government department approved the tender from Prouds Ltd for a highway clock but the Main Roads Tamworth division refused to allow placing the clock at Strafford and Manilla Streets, deeming it an obstruction. Debate followed on alternatives including a clock on the Post Office tower and further representations to the division. The matter ended in a deadlock with plans deferred to the Parks Committee.

Water Charges Increases Set At City Meeting
At the 1938 estimates debate the Municipal Council fixed the minimum water charge for occupied lots at £2 15s 0d per year with a 40 000 gallon allowance before excess. Excess water remains billed at the prior rate. Alderman Kennedy noted that excess water sales should offset the reduced minimum and ease public hardship.
