“Senate Vacancy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sir- Your explanation of the difficulties involved in choosing a senator to replace the late Mr John Barnes should satisfy \u201cTaxpayers\u201d and others. If the State Houses selected a successor surely an election could be avoided by calling for nominations and only one nomination being made, namely, the candidate selected by the State Houses.<\/em><\/p>\n

Respect for Mr Barnes, combined with the certainty of election of a candidate supported by both State Houses, should prevent any contest and the waste of taxpayers\u2019 money<\/em><\/p>\n

Yours<\/em><\/p>\n

G D Lawrence, Camberwell.”<\/em><\/p>\n

George continued to live in the Camberwell district his entire life, the reason for his inclusion on Ada\u2019s list is unknown, a possibility is that he may have been an Armytage family solicitor.<\/p>\n
