The various committees on accounts having made their several reports, town and county accounts have been audited by the Board. Several important questions have been before the Board, none of which have as yet been finally disposed of. The Board have designated to-morrow, (Tuesday) for considering the application for the erection of a New Town from parts of Pittstown, Schaghticoke and Lansingburgh; and Wednesday for considering the question of altering the division line between the towns of Poestenkill and Sandlake.

Judging from the signees involved, the part of Schaghticoke would have gone at least as far north as Melrose and in Pittstown would have gone at least as far east as Cooksborough. The October 31, 1850 item makes clear it would have extended further east by about three miles to include Raymertown.
