Letters between the Nannine Municipality and the Public Works Department reveal planning for a new ward within the Meekatharra road district rather than a separate road district. Officials note potential revenue limits and argue the change may merely cover administrative costs, with local concerns over dissolving the municipality and inclusion in a larger district.
The fragment lists revenues from improved scale, annual values, sales of water and health burden funding, and specified costs including 737. The exact sources and names are not readable, but the items indicate a budget with several income streams and expenses.
Mr J M L Drew says he will inquire and advise by further letter regarding opposition to a new Road Board at Nanoia. Mr B C O'Brien MLC notes no objection from seniors and confirms the Navwing Municipality supported forming a new Road District after checking with Public Works.
Read letters between Mr J Bearle chair Meekatharra Road Board and Mr J B Holman MLA on Nanine Roads Board plans. Board objects to a new board that would seize territory, criticizes lack of consultation, and vows to protest to the Minister for Works while defending electors’ rights and local interests.
An advertisement notes all classes of job printing available with quick execution at reasonable prices from the Miner Office.
The Board, chaired by Mrs Seviv, discussed water supply, road issues near the Queen of the Hills mine, and survey plans for residential blocks. They approved paying for drinking taps in Main Street, debated road and survey matters, and planned action on the water standpipe at Puddy’s Flat, with notes on finances and secretary’s performance.
