The St George Call directs that all communications for news and correspondence be addressed to the Editor at St George Call Kogarah. Anonymous notices will not be considered. Submissions must include name and address for good faith. duplicates and rejected manuscripts will not be returned.
The Call analyzes police court figures for St George electoral district covering 1908 to 1910, noting low crime in a 27 000 population area. Only 11 licensing act breaches occurred in 1908, eight in one incident, with drunk and dis orderly cases not rising with population. The piece discusses licensing reforms and political party positions, concluding crime drops outpace population growth despite calls for drastic liquor action.
The Call notes a surge of nearly one thousand last minute registrations in the St. George district. It argues the rise signals district growth and prosperity while acknowledging political tension and the presence of enthusiastic but questionable methods.
President Judd of the Sutherland Shire Council alerted the council to a potential delay in opening the Cronulla tram line due to possible shortages of rails from the United States following a state inspector’s death in California. A semiofficial notice later suggested no real delay, while plans to extend the tramline to Shelly Beach were noted but questioned by the speaker.
The Call recalls a Wise saying by Mr All Edden about land taxes and highlights Sir William Lyne’s House of Representatives admission that the land tax was sixpence in the pound, exceeding his promise of fourpence. The piece questions accountability and the political handling of promises.
A compare and contrast tale from Hurstville shows a local resident injured by mud and left uncompensated while a visiting Dutch war captain who dropped a sword on arrival in Sydney had officials retrieve and restore the weapon. The piece mocks local concern versus imperial attentions.
