The Murroe crew was complimented in The REO News from August 1951
This digital scan from the REO News displays the following text:
"The “Oscar” for the best performance last month goes to Mr. McNerney and his crew in Murroe Area. Their total for the month was:—
421 poles; 28KM of line; 21 consumers the equivalent of 1,032 units of work.
Although March was nominally a 5‑week month, it must be remembered that Easter made a considerable hole in one of the weeks. The effort of the Murroe gang is thus more meritorious and we congratulate all concerned in a fine performance."
