[ Cr. KERFERD gave notice that he would … ask the Council for £20 to introduce the Murray cod into the Reservoir. Even in summer, there were several holes that would sustain this fish, and from a communication he had from Dr Mueller , it appeared it was the most suitable fish for the Lake.]

Later, '£5 was voted for this purpose'.
