Amaroo Shire Hikes General Rate to 1d in the Pound
The Amaroo Shire votes to raise the general rate from 21d to 1d in the pound to cover higher costs and reduce the overdraft on the General Fund. The move, urged by Shire Clerk R. Pillans, is expected to add about £3,000 revenue and take effect after the next council meeting on January 26, 1949. The Cumnock Urban and Yeoval Urban rates stay unchanged, while the Cumnock Lighting Rate and Yeoval Lighting Rate receive small increases.

Amaroo Shire Council faces embarrassment over Land Settlement Board recommendations from five years ago as property changes and conditions raise risks for landowners. At Cum nock, council agreed to revise the list, inform the Board of changed circumstances, and clarify its position to avoid misinterpretation by owners like Mrs Wooton. The January meeting set the step to reexamine properties and report back.
