The Keilor Council elected Dr. Parr as Shire President after a rare two-candidate contest. Opponent Dr. Hilbert, supported by Mrs Dickson and Fox, failed to secure the post as councillors followed the Loew Government Act to place names in a draw. Parr thanked the council and pledged to serve ratepayers with fellow councillors. The presidential allowance was fixed at £70, up £5 from last year.
The Keilor council and St Albans Progress Association debated moving meetings to Saturday afternoons to boost attendance by ratepayers. Members argued transport, work clashes, and loss of leisure time, while some preferred preserving current morning schedules.
Mr C H Semmens, dispenser to the Sunshine and District United Friendly Societies since the dispensary began seven decades ago, has bought a Sandringham business and will begin his new venture in two weeks.
