The notice directs readers to address letters to the Editor of the St. George Call Kogarah and states anonymous communications will not be considered. It requires the writer’s name and address for authentication, not necessarily published, and notes duplicates and rejected manuscripts will not be returned.
The Call reports Bexley Council declines to continue efforts for a Greater St George, halting the push and prompting advocates to reassess with municipal elections nearing. Deputation feedback from Works Minister suggests possible authorisation for Judd’s plan, while tram service issues and Cronulla road speeding rules draw local commentary.
A deputation to the Minister of Works proposed a temporary water solution for Cronulla tram motors. President Judd of Sutherland suggested damming a nearby creek and powering a windmill to pump water to Miranda, enabling the tram line to operate while pipes and a retaining tank are laid for about 150 pounds.
The Sutherland Shire Council resolves to call for tenders now for a Cronulla Park Beach ladies dressing shed equal to the gentlemen’s facilities. The piece notes Cronulla’s surf bathing appeal and hopes for a tramway, while condemning destruction of Bay Street trees in Rockdale and praising Rockdale Council’s £10 reward for vandals.
A call is made for any nonparticipating observer to come forward with knowledge of the vandalism. The text stresses that informing is an act of duty and dishonor should not deter witnesses from reporting what they know.
Cronulla public meeting remarks on Mr Macfarlane faced council support. President Judd and councillors stated he is courteous, rarely at fault, and that public talk often exaggerates disagreements.
A reader criticizes a previous letter and argues the council should not spend 40 to 50 pounds on a side road given long-term ratepayer costs. The writer suggests vigilance and questions allocating funds for minor road work.
A letter to The Call criticizes Kogarah Council for buying a land block for a new town hall. The writer argues the site is unsuitable and costly, urges central location, warns against starving roads and services, and favors funding infrastructure before government offices.
