Citizens committee eyed to push Pirie progress
Work for Citizens Committee at a recent social of the Smelters Picnic Committee suggested forming a body representative of all sections to advance Pirie interests. The council alone cannot handle social and economic issues, so a citizen committee would support extensions of Redhill railway, bitumen roads, sewer systems, housing, tourism, afforestation, and building acts, with private groups like the Northern Retail Traders' Association and the Royal Automobile Association backing efforts.
