Whyalla Pipeline Costs Largely Covered by Wages
Premier T Playford announced that about £2,400,000 for the Murray water pipeline to Whyalla would largely be spent on wages for South Australian workers. An estimated £500,000 would buy materials and further sums for pumping stations. Officials hope local pipes may be produced in state and note defence needs for tinplate and shell storage. The project will create many jobs during construction and boost regional business.
