Grain Bags Question Reported By NSW Committee
The Select Committee examining the proposed grain bag size bill has reported to the NSW Legislative Assembly. It recommends introducing the bill but setting bag weight at 200 lb rather than 100 lb, and restricting enforcement to 20 miles of Sydney GPO and 15 miles of Newcastle post offices. The act would take effect July 1, 1908. The committee notes wheat bags at Darling Island average about 245 lb with higher weights during peak season, and finds weights above 250 lb harmful to workers health.
