Widening Smith Street. The Town Planning Committee recommended to the City Council at its meeting last evening that the offer of Mr J. Townsend to transfer a strip of land 16i feet in depth for the purpose of widening the west side of Smith Street be given favourable consideration when the estimates were being framed. agreed to accept the sum of 10s a foot for the land, the council to bear survey and legal costs. The land involved lies between Ferry Road and Matlock Street. The report stated that the acquisition of this land would be a decided improvement to the street, particularly in view of the fact that It carried a great deal of traffic to and from Monica Park. The report was adopted.
