"An attempt to solve the problem of traffic congestion in Sydney by providing facilities for the parking of motor cars will be made shortly by a company, which proposes to erect multifloor garages ? . . . The first of these garages is to be erected on a site that will have frontages to Hunter and Phillip streets. Another site ? is close to Market Street, and the third not far from the GPO."

Draughts master bested

"Jacob Harris, a full-blooded native from the Point Macleay Mission Station, gave a remarkable performance in the Adelaide draughts championship. Harris has never seen any books on the game, and his knowledge rested solely on his natural play and skill. He astonished the champions by defeating B. McGregor (NSW) and R. Holmes (WA) ? . . . Holmes is a recognised master of the game."

Sydney's traffic flow

"Anyone who has tried to cross the Quay or Railway Square in the evening or morning knows that motor vehicles are no mean unit in the city's traffic. They flow so thickly ? . . . that, at certain hours, it is almost impossible to number them. A Herald representative stood at King's Cross and counted the traffic for five minutes. An average of 40 motor cars passed during each minute."
