Numurkah Shire Council Grants War Aid Across Shire
The Numurkah Shire Council debated distributing grants to patriotic bodies including Red Cross societies and welfare committees. Proposals favored allocating funds via Win-the-War committees with £120 per end of the shire, and a plan to ensure ambulance needs and broader war support are funded while avoiding direct private distribution. The motion to set £125 for two main committees and to distribute fairly was carried.
