The 1924 Murray Football Association season is celebrated

Mr. Bert Harvey, hon. secretary of the Murray Bridge Football Association, submitted the following report for season 1924 at the recent annual meeting:

"I submit with pleasure the third annual report of the M.B.F. Association. In every way the season (1924) was entirely satisfactory, both from a spectator's point of view and financially."

Shop owner protests to council

At the fortnightly meeting of the Cooperation of Murray Bridge Mr. G. Hill wrote:

"I am protesting against the rating of my shop, as against others in the Main Street with more frontage and more accommodation in in all ways than I have.

"I am rated at £110, and there are others in the same block of buildings rated at £65, and mine is the smallest shop in the block, and has the least accommodation.

"I am asking to have this unfair taxation adjusted," Mr Hill said.

It was resolved to adjust the difference.

Brinkley harvest reports

Mr. E. W. Pearson reported that oats grown on fallow yielded one tons of hay per acre. Grain returns were:—Lachlan, 12 bush per acre; Early Burt, 12 bush per acre; and Scotch Grey, 8 bush per acre.
