AERIAL SURVEY OF BRISBANE
Acting on a suggestion by the city engineer (Mr. E. F. GIlchrist), following a request from the Commonwealth Government, the civic executive reommended that a photographic aerial survey, covering 20 square miles of the central portion of Brisbane be secured at a cost of 25s per square mile.
The Lord Mayor moved that the recommendation be adopted.

The motion was carried.

The supply may have been needed to pay the King’s Army and Navy, or per chance to buy a pair of fancied emerald and diamond earrings — with brooch and solitaire to match — for his
