    A letter was received from the Commissioner of Crown Lands stating that if possible the council should do something to repair a track giving access to Mr W. McVicar's property at the Upper Grey. Mr McVicar also waited on the council with a request that something should be done in the matter. It was decided after much discussion to extend the track from the Alexander mines to give access to the farm.
