I wanted to bring this to your attention as you may find it worth looking into, given that the arguments today sound similar to the ones made back then.

I would have thought that if it really is more efficient to amalgamate the councils then the data ought to be there to prove it.

You just need to have a look at the cost comparison between the old Perth City council versus the present smaller councils.
