DEATH OF THOMAS WILLIAM DALTON, A FORMER MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Mr WRAN (Bass Hill), Premier and Treasurer [2.16!: I move: That this House extcnds to the Iamily of Thomas William Dalton, a former Member of this House, the deep sympathy of Members of the Legislative Assembly in the loss sustained by his death. Thomas Dalton served this House and the people of his electorate faithfully from 14th February, 1953, to 6th February, 1956, and from 21st March, 1959, to 23rd January, 1968. His maiden speech to this House on 19th August, 1953, set the tone for his parliamentary career. Above all, he was concerned with the problems of his electorate, centred on the then rapidly growing Sutherland district. In that speech he spolte on housing, transport and the industrial development of the Botany Bay region. It is ironical that one of the principal concerns that he expressed in his maiden speech was for home buyers following the increases in housing interest rates by the federal Government of the day. In recent years we have become accustomed to hearing of the need to tackle urban problems and to plan for future urban develop- ments.
