Molong to Join New Federal Electorate
The Molong district will form part of a new federal electorate separated from Orange. The area will include Parkes Forbes and Condobolin, while Molong reported many visitors from nearby towns as hotels ran out of beds. An estimated 180 pounds will be raised from the Presbyterian Chrysanthemum Show and concert. Alfred Gell, once a Wellington tailor, has died after being in hospital. A project to start an Ambulance Corps linked to the School of Arts is proposed with lectures costing about 3s. The Forbes Small Debts Court awarded 6 pounds damages for breach of agreement. Parkes marks Empire Day quietly with tea at the Superior Public School. The Parkes district mourns pioneer William Tanswell at his death.
