Open Column explains alderman resignation dispute and contract
The writer disputes resignation rumors and presents a detailed defense of a prolonged rate collector contract with E J H Williams. He argues the agreement continued through 1905 and 1906, cites council actions or inactions, notes a court result of non suit, and defends the mayor and aldermen against alleged liability avoidance. He concludes with respect for the mayor's administration and expresses regret over disagreements.

The piece also includes a forecast of world gold output and a Tasmanian premier's claim to being the first seaman in the British dominions to hold ministerial office. A Queensland regulation requires licensed victuallers to keep a daily record book of bona fide travellers for inspection, with a £5 fine for breaches.
