Shaping Our Identity: Labour & Work
Description
Labourer's Wages
The council's labourers requested an increase in wages. The request was discussed by the council on September 13, 1869, when a motion was presented to make an increase from 5/- to 5/6 a day. The motion was defeated by an amendment, to refuse to grant the request.
