Chudleigh: The meeting for the election of a parish Council took place at Chudleigh on Monday. There were 24 nominations for the 13 seats. Those who received the greater number of votes were: A. T. Stookes, 48; H Stephens, 45; J. Hellier, 39; W. Whiteway, 36; W. Hunt, 34; G. Scott, 32; J. Compodonico, 31; R. Collings, 31; A. Austin, 30; T. Spry, 22; T. Reed, 20; W. White, 19; J. Holmes, 18. Just at the call of time Messrs. Taylor, Heyward, Cornish, Pascoe, and Whiteway demanded a poll. Among some this caused much discontent, as it was thought the above formed a fairly representative body. The accounts of the Charity Governors showed an income of £210 14s. Pinsent’s Grammar School receipts were £109 2s 10d, and the expenditure £93 6s 9d, leaving a balance of £15 6s 2d. From the Eastchurch Gift a sum of £4 12s 6d was received, half of which was for Church of England Schools, the other half being divided among the three other Sunday schools.
