Public protest opposes county electricity council plan
A large crowd in Manilla on September 7, 1951, voted unanimously to oppose forming a County Council to control electricity distribution. Ald. Grill warned it would raise costs, erode local control, and remove rural residents from direct supplier contact. Community leaders urged delay or referendum and stressed Manilla’s decentralised system and Tamworth supply.
