Petition to Shire Council for Trunk Road 63 surfacing
Mandowa Shire ratepayers and public petition the council to press the Department of Main Roads for bitumen surfacing of Trunk Road No. 63 from four miles north of Manilla to the Tarpoly bridge. The road is in a poor state and dangerous in wet weather after 20 years of neglect. The note notes tar paving as overdue and requests funds. A letter from G Mallett regrets approval for construction north of Manilla, with plans for tar paving from the end of current bitumen to the Upper Manilla bridge. Council will forward the petition to Tamworth Divisional Engineer and copy the Department of Main Roads in Sydney.

Nurses Quarters Upgrade For Manila Hospital Delayed
The Hospitals Commission plans to include funds for extra nurses' accommodation at Manila Hospital in its 1954 55 loan estimates but the minister cautions no guarantee of finance this coming year. The Board has sought this addition for 16 years, with efforts dating back to 1938 including plans for a maternity ward and a new building after a 1948 fire. Despite repeated negotiations and sketches, no funds have been released and progress has been intermittent amid wartime delays and shifting finances.
