• Notes

  Cathcart Farmers' Chronicle of 18th April 1889 "The Albany Divisional Council are at loggerheads over the appointment of a Secretary and Road Inspector. It appears that tenders for the joint offices were recently called for, and the tenders range from £180 to £325 per annum. Mr. Christopher S. WEBB tendered for the first mentioned sum, and Mr. Henry HILL for the latter. Mr. HILL is the tried and faithful servant of the Council, and a numerously signed petition was read in favour of retaining his services. On going to the vote four members voted for Mr. HILL, and four for Mr. WEBB, whereupon the Chairman gave his casting vote in favour of the former gentleman. We think the Chairman took a very sensible view of the matter, in spite of Mr. HILL's tender being so much higher than Mr. WOODS [sic]. Economy is all very well, but there is such a thing as false economy, and the idea of anyone properly carrying on the duties of Secretary and Road Inspector to so large a Division as Albany for a paltry £15 per month is simply absurd. Work for such a miserable pittance would never be properly performed. Why, one third of the amount would be spent in maintaining horses. Nothing was ever gained by employing under paid servants, nor never will be."
