Quarries opened by Chairman of Country Roads Board
THE opening of the stone quarries at Moorooduc on Friday, January 7 proved a notable event, destined to prove memorable in the history of the district’s development.
Men competent to express an opinion on the subject give the unqualified verdict that the Council of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings has done the right thing in establishing an industry so vital to the needs of the municipality.
The great need of the day is for roads and yet more roads.
The council, assisted by the Country Roads Board, has not been unwilling to supply all reasonable demands for improved thoroughfares, but in many instances construction has been retarded, owing to the inability to obtain adequate supplies of road making material.
Neighbour can have extension despite councillor s objection );

A WOMAN has been granted planning permission to extend her home in Henley despite opposition from a town councillor who lives next door.
Debbie Mason’s application for the single storey rear extension property in Elizabeth Road was approved by South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority.
Councillor Stefan Gawrysiak, her neighbour, spoke against the plans at meeting of the town council’s planning committee as a member of the public and took no part in its decison.
He said a window in the north flank would overlook the home he shares with his partner Catherine Notaras and there would be light spill into the couple’s bedroom. They would also be able to look into Mrs Mason’s kitchen.
