Parkes Calls for Local Government Act Amendment
Special meeting of Hurstville Council with Mr Varney Parkes on amending the Local Government Act to endow municipalities for developmental works. Parkes cites Carruthers Act history, argues shire-like treatment for larger councils, and urges a conference of 22 councils to push for a statutory endowment. He notes Canterbury electorate growth and discusses water sewerage, railway management, and plans for a Belmore Illawarra line extension. Aldermen raise concerns on subsidies, service delays, and council revenue.
