Namoi River road deviation and Hal's Creek bridge grants approved
Man dowa Shire Council accepted grants totalling £2500 for a deviation on the Namoi River road opposite Lowry and for a bridge over Hal's Creek at the nine mile.

Ploughing in the Manilla district shows strong progress with thousands of acres already turned over and a likely record area to be planted if the season remains satisfactory. Farmers report first ploughing finished and ground turning up well, with rain at a critical point hoped for.
