Council holds to its decision on croquet lawns at Newtown Park

That the letter from the West Toowoomba Croquet Club, advising that the site for its croquet grounds in the new proposed sports area, west of Tor Street, is not suitable, that the area in Newtown Park originally laid down for croquet lawns is adequate for two full-sized croquet lawns, and asking that the council grant their club the use of these lawns, be received and that the club be advised that the council adheres to its previous decision on January 16, that the council will not agree to giving the club an area in Newtown Park for croquet lawns but, in the event of the club securing suitable freehold ground, the council would be prepared to meet it with regard to a temporary building area in the interim.
