Objective is door delivery and reduced pilfering to win back lost business. This bulletin also notes a new Golf in Victoria tourist booklet, rail wear measurement innovations, the new 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive, and strong spark arrestor measures to prevent railway fires with staff instructions for the summer season.

Bruce Page Government Seeks Permanent Commonwealth State Finance
The last session enacted a plan to settle financial relations between the Commonwealth and the States. It provisions a temporary two year operation aiming to amend the Constitution to fix permanent arrangements, establish a Federal Loan Council, and create sinking funds for past and future borrowings to stabilize Australia’s finances. The measure reduces borrowing costs, improves credit, and lessens taxpayer burden, hailed as a landmark statesmanlike achievement. The session also advances a home building scheme by reallocating Commonwealth Savings Bank funds up to 1500 pounds for state-backed loans, underlining coordination with State schemes rather than competition. Tax relief followed with 10 percent cuts in income and land taxes, plus exemptions for primary producers on certain losses. Further details to come in future bulletins.
