Railway Question Presses for Pingelly Goods Yard Upgrades
Longstanding complaints about local goods traffic lead to a proposed plan by the Commissioner for Railways. The plan includes widening the rear goods shed area, adding three rail sets to extend toward Albany, and possible road deviations. If the Rod Board rejects the plan, the Department warns of a potential station move or compulsory closure, with wheat traffic and seasonal needs stressed.

Elections are over and the Labor Party fared poorly in Western Australia due to a lack of organisation. If electors had voted there would have been a different result with about half unlikely to vote. Taxation and Labor policies are blamed, while supporters urge a candidate who truly represents local wants. Grace Bros. sold to a Perth firm, and a two story Coffee Palace is rumored for Park Street.
