University Procession
Among the topical floats in the University students’ procession tomorrow morning will be one on the egg board and the rotation of hatches, which is being prepared by some medical students.
Dental students will be responsible for a float depicting a flying dentist on a flying saucer, while engineering students have concentrated on the hydrogen bomb. An amusing float will be one showing a surf life saving club with swimmers wearing neck-to-knee costumes.
The procession will move from the George Street section University at 10 a.m. and will travel along Alice Street to Edward, Mary, Eagle and Creek Streets and up Elizebeth Street, returning to the University by way of George Street.

Plan of proposed Court House at Roma, floor plan
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
The Roma Court House is a rendered masonry building located on a triangular block facing McDowell Street. It was constructed between 1900 and 1901 and was designed by John Smith Murdoch, the Second Assistant Architect of the Queensland Works Department.
The Roma Court House is of aesthetic significance due to its landmark qualities and its high degree of design and workmanship. The large masonry form of the Court House is indicative of the relevant importance of Roma in relation to other towns in western Queensland.
The site of the Roma Court House is significant for a long association with law and order and the dispensing of justice in Roma since 1866. It is a good example of Queensland Public Works court house buildings design in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is also significant for its association with architect John Smith Murdoch, as an example

The Roma Court-House
The Government Architect (Mr. A. B. Brady) has returned from a visit to Roma, where he inspected the new court-house now under construction there by Mr. James Renwick, at a cost of £6015. The building is of brick, plastered externally and internally.
The external plastering is almost completed, and that internally is under way. The fencing is being erected, and the stables and other buildings are under way. The main building is completely roofed in, and, generally speaking, good progress has been made, while the work is of a very satisfactory character.
The building will be completed in about two months. Altogether it will be a superior kind of structure. The court-house is alluded to by the Attorney-General as one of the best in the State, and the accommodation for the Judge, jury, magistrates, clerk of petty sessions, and the barristers is excellent.
