A deputation from Northam district farmers urged Premier Frank Wilson to back a loop railway between the Northam Merredin line and the Dowerin Merredin loop to serve settled lands. They cited high transport costs and distance to the nearest rail, arguing state interests require action beyond survey promises. The Premier pledged sympathy plus action and noted advisory boards to determine the best route, with government support limited by available means.
In the Northam district the referendum vote totaled 5 281 with 2 054 for Yes and 8 761 No. The report notes good order and a hitch free polling process with the tally recorded at a clock yesterday for the Commonwealth and related entities.
A railway organized picnic day will take officials and the public to Goomalling for the event with a 9 am train from Northam and a 6 pm return from Goomalling. The committee promises a pleasant day with children prizes, adult trophies, an art union, and a double decker prize. Returned soldiers are invited and last year profits supported the War Fund with more charity plans likely.
A board chair noted eagerness to begin work on multiple projects including a railway. The speaker proposed a survey to gauge feasibility and funding, asking how far hundreds of miles could be built given doubled material costs, labor shortages, and 6 percent finance. He warned no promise of immediate construction despite a favorable report.
