Minister opens new highway

WARWICK. Sunday. — The cutting of a ribbon by the Minister for Works (Mr. W. Power) at Cunningham's Gap yester

day saw the fulfilment of an idea visualised by Allan Cunningham, who discovered the Darling Downs 120 years ago. Three hundred attended the opening of the new highway through Cunningham's Gap. Facing a battery of cameras, Mr. Power was handed the scissors by the chairman of the Glengallan Shire Council (Cr. J. H. Hansen) and declared Cunninsham's Gap road open.
