BELLINGEN, Monday.

Bellingen Shire Council has been advised by the Clarence River county council, that the Raleigh Co-operative Butter Society has approached the county council for a supply of electricity. An offer has been made to supply the factory, subject to an electricity agreement being granted by the Bellingen Shire to the county council to supply within the area. It was decided to invite the Clarence County Council to submit for the Bellingen Shire’s consideration alternative proposals with regard to a franchise for the whole of the Bellingen Shire area, including and excluding the town of Bellingen. The meeting instructed the electricity committee to deal immediately with the replies.
