Macquarie Shire Council held its Saturday meeting with President Dra A E Fuller and members Campbell Edwards O'Brien Wykes Reinhard present. Discussion covered anonymous letters, road grants, valuer's report valuing Ridings A B C at £977,024, health inspections noting polluted water, spoiled foods, and the need to improve local sanitation services. Engineer's report detailed road works delays, budget limits, bridge concerns, subdivision at Yeoval, and requests to open roads including from Martin's to Menindee, with progress dependent on next steps and local support.
Council discussed a loan for horses, road grant applications to improve Molong-Dubbo rail access, and improvements to Yeoval Goonoo and Wellington Yeoval roads. Members debated funding, pledged shelter shed work at caves, and considered abolishing P P Boards along with other local improvements.
A correspondent laments being forced from the public park at 9 p.m. on a hot Sunday, arguing lights were shut early. He asserts park access favors ratepayers and adults, condemns the curfew as barbaric, and offers to fund extra hours if needed. The letter ends with a dress ad reference.
