Manitows Shire Council Meets Reviews Road Crossings
The Manitows Shire Council held a morning session chaired by Dr G R Park. Letters from Halls Creek Progress Association urged culvert fixes at Black Gully on Halls Creek Bendemeer Rd and requested inspection of crossings on Halls Creek Bungendore Spur and Watsons Creek roads. They also proposed an alternative Croydon property to Halls Creek bridge route. Council planned inspections in early 1953 and considered repairs with Uralla Shire. A letter from G Seymour criticized Linton boundary road near Bald Rock as almost untrafficable and proposed Uralla assist. Boxwood Crossing near Manilla River was discussed with PMG Dept. Council favoured limited repairs when possible but not year-round maintenance.
