Scope and content
Letters from J. E. L. Whitehead (Town Clerk) to Hugh Shield (Bursar) asking if the posts at the West End of Fitzroy Street could be removed to allow vehicular traffic to go directly from Fitzroy Street to New Square instead of via Fair Street, Maids Causeway to Short Street. Also raises the question of planting trees in New Square following the Corporation laying out Christ Pieces as an ornamental ground. The remaining letters in the file concern improving the road on the north side of New Square [Nos. 35-49] by the College making the roadway wider, making a footpath and kerb. The file also contains two plans showing the suggested scheme for widening the roadway.
