Marshman, and others warn gains may be limited or costly, while shires Macquarie and Cobbora show mixed support for or against amalgamation, with debate on plant, electricity, and staff implications continuing.

Wellington Festival seeks extra lights for swift street carnival
The Wellington Festival Committee asked the Municipal Council to provide additional lighting on Swift Street for Festival Week starting September 20. An auxiliary lighting plant may be used if current restrictions remain. A well attended Wednesday meeting in the Royal Hotel chaired by President Mr. Wilkins approved quotes for hunting and flags and authorised expenditure for carnival supplies. The carnival will occupy the vacant block opposite the Soldiers Club with games, stills, and Swift Street closed nightly. Decorations will be placed to attract business, and Vice Regal Ball arrangements were discussed with four to six debutantes to be presented. Other events include the Jwirette Ball at Monarch Hall and school teachers invited to attend. Military bands may perform, and Cowra Band invited for Saturday. Neivows! Sons offered free timber to support stalls and queens.
