Traffic Dome and Council Actions in Manilla 1954
In August 1954 the Clerk was authorized to call applications for a new position with duties starting in May or July. The NSW Police Traffic Branch favored a dome at the Manilla and Charles streets intersection, while Council supported a dome aligned with the western curb. Police disagreed. Mayor and two detectives inspected the site and advised two nine foot buffers on Charles Street. Also planned is destroying noxious weeds with a mobile hormone spray, and general business notes on washouts, road frontage, and repairs to the Manilla Street footpath.
