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.
Alderman Warmington (Labor) said this was a wonderful gift to the Federal Government. He did not think they should spend a lot of money to please Joe Lyons. He could not see the need of this aerial survey.
The motion was carried.
