The Manilla Municipal Council held its monthly meeting in the council chambers on Tuesday night. A letter from the Manila RSS & AIDA branch sought permission for an Anzac Day march along Court and Manilla streets on March 25, which was granted. W J Byrnes reported road work to the saleyards costing £63 with the council share of £31 10s, and the council decided to forward that amount to Byrnes. The Manilla Businessmen Association thanked the council for temporary pool dressing facilities and urged seating for elderly residents and mothers with children in the shopping area. Discussions covered removing the fence around centre gardens to allow seating vs. keeping it, and proposed seats in front of Tilman’s shop on Court and Arthur streets. Mr Ryan, horse trainer, sought permission to use horse stalls at the Showground stabling his horses. council allowed use of stalls but not the ring interior, with a £1 fee per stall. A gate/expense issue on Janitia Street to Shy Side and bridge approaches was sent to the town clerk for attention.
