Newtown Correspondence and Subject Files

Description

Unique IDAS-0608Start dateBetween 1st July 1913 and 12th January 1950Start date qualifiercircaFormatRegistered FileDescriptionThis series consists of correspondence files that relate to Newtown Council's administration. The series consists of 17 bound folders of correspondence and papers filed by subject. Some of the files were continued in use briefly, after the absorption of Newtown into the City of Sydney on 1 January 1949.
