ter of street lighting. He will report at a later meeting, when it is hoped that some finality will be reached.

Port Augusta Ferry,
At a meeting of the Port Augusta West Council on March 18 the Mayor (Mr L. M. Sanderson) referred to the proposed new ferry service to be undertaken by the Government and the proposed expenditure of three or four thousand pounds in connection therewith. He considered the expenditure wouid give more satisfaction if utilised in the direction of providing a bridge. He thought the council would work with the West Coast in agitating for the same. On the motion of Crs D. McSporran and S.J. Kirwan, it was decided that a letter be written to Mr Harvey, member for the district, asking for full particulars as to what the Government purposed doing in connection with the new ferry service.
