Upper Manilla Bridge Opens After Prolonged Construction
The contractor W O Marshall completed the Upper Manilla bridge approaches and opened the northern traffic route. After the Old Town Bridge washout on January 8 1941, a high level bridge was planned with support from Mandown Shire Council and multiple local bodies. Despite tender delays and a 1942 flood, the reinforced concrete six span bridge was completed by September last year, restoring continuous northward travel.

Lands Department Policy Aims to Ease Liens on Crops
The Minister for Lands Mr. Tully outlines a new policy limiting liens to only when arrears exceed two years. Liens will not exceed one third of gross proceeds or one year's commitments plus ten to twenty percent, whichever is less, and apply to the predominant activity. Land commitments may be reduced by the Conversation Act, aiding settlers.
