Fate of Burrendeng Dam and NSW loan fight at Canberra meeting
The 1941 42 loan outlook in New South Wales hinges on a £350000 tunnel project at King s Cross and the Burrendong Dam funding. The State must cover three quarters of costs as the Loan Council in Canberra weighs budget priorities and potential tax shifts. McKell warns cuts threaten hospitals housing and water schemes including Keepit and Burrendong. A tighter loan allocation may force post war water conservation emphasis and defence credit stays with the federal government.
