Improving Harbours – Gladstone and Townsville

Mr George Carger, M.L.A., accompanied by Mr L.S. Crow (Chairman of the Gladstone Harbour Board), interviewed the Acting Treasurer (Mr. J. Mullan), and asked that permission be granted to the Gladstone Harbour Board to borrow £4,000 to reclaim certain land for harbour purposes, in which connection it was explained that the board proposed to lease the land at a rental sufficient to cover the interest and redemption payments on the loan.

A request was also made that a loan of approximately £4,000 be granted to defray the cost of an extension of about 200 feet to the existing wharf, outside the railway approach.
