New South Wales Notes on League Finances and Roster Rules
Absent secretary H Chesney Harte, J E Phelan takes the role as league notes outline trustees funding limits for the Australian Football Ground. Overdrafts exceed 9000 pounds with weekly interest of nine pounds, prompting trustees to take all club futures takings. New players must meet Victorian and South Australian permit rules and reside three months in the district before eligibility. Six clubs have paid entry fees. NSW hopes to balance finances via regional association dues and a 200 pound credit balance anticipated in Victoria and South Australia. Regular financial statements will be published.
