Newspaper, The Courier Ballarat, "Ballarat seems a doomed city - says a man who cares", 22/01/1972 12:00:00 AM

Physical description

Newspaper clipping from The Courier, 22/1/1972 about Ballarat seems doomed to become a city of silence, a dead city, unless something is done quickly to bolster its failing industrial and population growth. Quotes statements the previous day by Mr Maurie Calnin, the President of the Retired Railwaymen's Association. Notes the loss of the trams, decentralisation, transport problems, a bus service in Gregory St. and that the means test should be lifted for all people above 70 years.
