GREAT EASTERN HIGHWAY

At the suggestion of the Perth Road Board last night's meeting of the Bassendean Road Board agreed to an alteration in the name of the main road traversing its territory. Perth Road Board pointed out that Perth-road (which had been selected as the name

or. the traffic artery) was not geueval enough, and it suggested the adoption of Great Eastern Highway. The Perth authority pointed out that the road served the eastern districts, and that in time it was hoppd to have it declared u main road. The Bassendoan bosm decided lo alter the name as suggested.
