SYDNEY IN 1930

PROPOSED WORLD EXHIBITION OPENING OF A BRIDGE Representatives of various institutions held a meeting at the Chamber of Comerce rooms, Sydney, to consider the question of inaugurating a world exhibition in Sydney in 1930, to coincide with the opening of the harbour bridge.

Allied with the exhibition would be the holding of the International Radio Congress/ steps for which have already been taken for that year, whilst the holding of an international sports carnival could also be arranged. ..
