Numurkah Shire Deputation Hopes for Better Road Grants
The Numurkah Shire council, pressed by drought and floods, votes a deputation to wait on the Roads Board to secure a fairer allocation of road grants. President Dr J T Myers notes neighboring shires gain more, while local ratepayers face 1s6d rates. Engineers seek better use of funds, with no extra money available, and council aims to transfer unspent grant portions to Barmah scheme and Nathalia pool.
