COMMISSIONER’S SUGGESTIONS.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
SYDNEY, January 22
The report of the Royal Commissioner, Mr. Justice H. S. Nicholas, who last year inquired into the agitation for a new State within New South Wales, was tabled in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly to-day. The Commissioner declared that, although no purely rural area could be recommnded for self-government within the Commonwealth, he would express the opinion that there were two areas that were suitable for selfgovernment. One would be an area including the whole of the north coast of the State, also the New England district. and extending thence south to Newcastle. The other would be an area embracing the'whole of the central portion of the State, including Bathurst and Goulburn, and part of the Riverina.
The Commissioner recommends that a separate referendum should be taken in each of the affected areas in order to' ascertain the opinion of the electors, while the Government should make information, available concerning the advantages and the disadvantages of new self-governing States.
