Correspondence between the Corporation and the owners of the George III public house in St. Michael`s Street is reported upon by the Housing and Town Planning Committee. The Borough Engineer informed the Committee he had suggested that the Corporation and the brewers might agree to an exchange of a small piece of land to permit satisfactory development of land owned by the Corporation north of Bennett`s Yard. The owners in reply had en­quired if the Corporation would be interested in purchasing the licensed premises, the George III.
The Committee resolved that it did not wish to purchase the licensed premises but that a further approach should be made to the owners of the George III public house, sug­gesting the exchange of the small portion of land on the lines originally proposed by the Borough Engineer.
