Harding GirlsPrint Page

Port Elliot, November 16.
The local progress and improvement committee are working hard to add to the attractions of the place and have accepted the tender of Mr.J. W. Trigg to erect bathing houses on the ladies' beach at a cost of £55. With the view of raising money towards this object the committee provided all the refreshments and luncheon at the local show last week. So well did the ladies of the district work that through the liberal patronage of the public at the two booths they were able to realise with money previously raised a sum nearly sufficient to meet the expenses incurred so far, including the bathing houses. At a meeting held last night it was unanimously decided to pass a comprehensive vote of thanks to the ladies who had so nobly assisted and to Mr. Elliott, of the Southern Argus, for generously providing all necessary printing free of charge.
