Mandowa Shire Council notes and road concerns
The Mandowa Shire Council held its monthly meeting in the Council Chambers on Friday. Leave of absence was granted to Dr. M Park. A tribute was paid to the late Mr. A R Macleod, praised for his service to Manilla and district, with a two minute silence observed and letters of sympathy to Mrs. Macleod. The council considered road repairs on Crow Mountain road, Inlet Manilla road drainage, and rabbit infestation near Upper Manilla bridge. It approved cooperation with the Tamworth P P Board and supported declaring the Singleton WIndsor road a main road surfaced with bitumen, seeking federal and state backing. Donations and requests from Manilla Municipal Council and Rushes Creek Agricultural Bureau were noted.
