Newton Council: Discuss Important Matters in Committee: The monthly meeting of the above yesterday was presided over by the Chairman (Mr. W. Vicary). Messrs. Hutchings and Co. wrote on behalf of Mr. W. S. Pinsent to ask whether the Council would be prepared to sell a portion of the property recently purchased from Mrs. Cox for street improvement. Mr. Pinsent was prepared to negotiate upon the figures which represent the price given by the Council for the property, less the amount paid for goodwill. The letter was referred to the Library Committee to report upon.
