The letter discusses Editor directives for submissions and condemns McGowen’s stance. It argues newspapers should not back one side amid political bias and notes metropolitan press once opposed Sir Henry Parkes, who later returned to Parliament as Premier.
The Call targets Hurstville Council for excessive talk delaying key projects like a Town Hall or School of Arts. It argues private enterprise may build a public hall but warns ongoing chatter stalls essential municipal work and mocks aldermen for their perceived fondness for talk.
The article rebuts Alderman Leys critique of The Call on municipal valuation arguing Ley misstates opinions from Rockdale Council and confuses permissive with mandatory powers. It notes Leys interference caused expenditure nearly balancing savings and emphasizes adherence to local government principles.
The State Opposition leader selects Rockdale as the base to launch charges and denounce newspapers. The Call notes that a newspaper may take sides in politics just as a member of parliament can, reflecting on the political stance rather than a partisan view.
Report from a Sydney court recounts an incident on an Illawarra Suburban line where a train scheduled for 8:08 AM from Hurstville to Sydney departed eighteen minutes late and arrived at 9:12 AM, underscoring ongoing timetable irregularities across suburban services.
The Call expresses hope that the matter is reported to the Municipal Committee preparing a remonstrance on train service. It pledges to continue its work and seek authentic information on incorrect train running and notes a judge was inconvenienced by desultory service, suggesting a judge's complaint may influence authorities more than public protest.
Mayor Halstead reported a conference on railway fare cuts failed to secure a deputation meeting with the Commissioner. Alderman Johnson’s view cited higher fares here than Melbourne, linked to private enterprise. Council urged public grievances to be sent to the Clerk for the next deputation.
The Bexley Branch of the W C T U held its annual officer election at the parish hall with Mrs Masterman presiding. Following Mrs Barton’s lecture last Monday, thirty new members joined the roll.
