Cost Of Living Down A Postage Stamp
The Braybrook Council debated a municipal wage cut of 2d a day in line with a basic wage set by the Municipal Association. Several councillors opposed the change, others argued for adherence to the award, while a motion to not reduce pay failed. A sub committee was formed to study cooperation with Footscray, new site, and garbage destruction methods.
