Local Authorities Eye Canberra Finance Conference

The executive cites a prior Menzies initiated prepana from Melbourne and urges state government backing for an Australia wide finances conference. Prime Minister Menzies said local authority finances fall to state governments and noted the states must decide. Queensland replies that without a direct approach from the Prime Minister no new moves will occur. The association plans a further request to the State Government for support.

Housewives rushed the Preston meat works yesterday for a sale of frozen lamb at 1 shilling 8 pence per pound. The first quality export meat proved too light for the firm’s trade, with 1529 sides sold and plans for a further 10,000 sides to clear the chambers for next season.
