Page 3 - THE BRICK WORKS
THE BRICKWORKS
PETITION TO MINISTER.
Recently, some enterprising per-
son conceived the idea of opening a
brick works at Katoomba North. At
once an agitation was instituted am-
ong local residents, who petitioned
tho Council to declare the environs
of the proposed brick-works a resi-
dential area.
The Council concurred, and took
the initial steps in the desired di-
rection; the outcome being an ad-
vertisement by the Minister, asking
for objectors to lodge their protests,
if any.
On Tuesday night, Katoomba
Council received a communication
from the Local Government Depart-
ment, stating that it had received a
letter from Mr. P. V. Tabrett, on
closing a petition from 125 alleged
ratepayers in the vicinity, protesting
against, the area being gazetted resi-
dential.
Several aldermen scanned the list
of "residents in the locality," and
declared that the majority of them
dwelt afar from the site of the con-
tentious brick-works. They stated
that the petition obviously emanated
from persons quite disinterested in
the question, at least from a resi-
dential aspect.
It was resolved to instruct the
Town Clerk to compile a list of the
objectors, with their addresses, and
any available Information to reveal
how close they lived to the locality
affected.

The "peak" load, on Katoomba's
generating plant, during the past
three weeks, was 740 units, on Feb-
ruary 25.
