The St George Call editors request letters be signed with name and address to verify good faith. Anonymous communications are not considered. Duplicate submissions from other papers will not be inserted, and rejected manuscripts cannot be returned.
A Call correspondent urges Illawarra Suburbs councils to lead in public health by establishing local ambulances and infectious wards linked to suburban hospitals. The piece notes hospital ambulance shortages, praises isolation ward progress at St George Cottage Hospital, and stresses municipal responsibility before a major outbreak.
The Call analyzes Alderman Leys extended discussion on valuation legality and local government principles. It questions his economy claim and notes cost estimates and potential uses for an extra clerk while praising his friendship and continued subscription. The piece also mentions Bexley Council following Hurstville's lead on Leys' initiative.
A lengthy typed letter allegedly from W J Wilshire criticizes Council methods and advocates a Cronulla Progress Association. The Council member Alderman Taylor signals cautious reception, while local editor The Call argues public debate on Greater St George is near and should be utilized amid election tensions.
Alderman Taylor in Rockdale offers a chance to revive the Greater St. George question. The move is viewed as a wise step toward potential regional unity and growth opportunities.
The Sutherland Council backs a Newcastle City Council proposal for municipal control of trams. It notes Australia’s railways are largely state-run and tram lines often follow state networks. Local bodies may build light railways where favorable, though greater St George plans may complicate Illawarra authority.
Cronulla residents seek a new bathing site near their homes with a grant of £10 plus £10 privately raised. The Sutherland Shire Council deems £20 more effective than £10 in pursuing a bathing place at the Oaks reserve and rejects spending £10 in the Pacific Ocean.
At a Thursday evening Rockdale Council meeting a proposal to allow a 100 tent Adventist camp from September 15 to 25 was approved. The camp will be supervised by the Board of Health with Aldermen voicing mixed opinions on land use and public impact. The mayor warned against giving the impression of imitation of American Independence festivities.
