☞ TWO NEW TOWNS.—Application to the board of Supervisors will be made at the next meeting for the forming of a new town by dividing the town of Greenbush; also a new town to include a portion of Lansingburgh, Pittstown and Schaghticoke—Speigletown in Lansingburgh to be set apart to the new town, also Raymertown in Pittstown, and taking so much of Schaghticoke, as lies south of the Junction Hotel.

Board of Supervisors.

The Board adjourned at 12 o’clock on Saturday, to meet again at 2 P. M. to-day having been in session three weeks. 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. Various matters pertaining to county legislation are yet to come before the Board.
Troy Daily Whig. December 9, 1850: 2 col 3.

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.
