ROADS, NOT SHIPS.
—* — NORTHERN TERRITORY'S NEEDS. SETTLERS' SUPPLIES DELAYED. (BI CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPIRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIA* Agl> K.I CAB LI ASSOCIATION.! DARWIN. January 21. The Darwin Town Council has asked the North Australia Commission to cancel the coastal shipping contract and withdraw the subsidy paid to the company, which should be spent on making 'roads. The Council pointed out that settlers and miners along the coast were being starved out, that produce is going to waste, that despairing the arrival of ships, with supplies, pastoralists had procured motor-lorries and cut roads through-the rough country at their own expense. . , ' The Council asked the Commission to finish these roads, thus making the settlers independent of shipping.
