Mr J H Cann ex Speaker urged restraint in legislation at the Druids annual gala. He criticized overambitious sessions, recalled Sir Henry Parkes, and warned politicians that noisy voices often do the most harm. He projected a stirring forthcoming session and suggested electors may again be asked to decide.
Mr Francis Bailey of Merriwa argues several proposed cross country railways deserve simultaneous consideration. He cites routes Wellington to Werris Creek 159 miles and Dubbo to Werris Creek 157 miles, plus Gilgandra to Curlewis 121 miles, all with steep gradients, to relieve Great Western congestion and provide direct seaboard access. He notes Muswellbrook to Dubbo would traverse 166 miles with strong agricultural gains and potential early payback, stressing that a section to Merriwa is already authorised and partly built.
