Improvement of Port Wakefield debated before Parliament
Mr Arthur Searcy told the Railways Standing Committee at Parliament House that the Harbors Board plans to spend 15 000 to 20 000 pounds as a first instalment on Port Wakefield improvements. Work was about to start and could cost double for modern port facilities. He critiqued railway facilities and noted Railways Commissioner shifted superphosphate trade to rail from Wallaroo and Port Adelaide, upsetting Port Wakefield. The committee thought trade would be small, and Searcy warned the projects could reduce it further.
