Highweek: Mr. W. Vicary presided. All the retiring Councillors save one were nominated and expressed themselves willing to stand but one or two would give way rather than put the parish to the expense of a poll. Mr. John Vicary through ill health did not seek re-election, and Mr. W. Badcock was nominated to fill that vacancy. That, with the thirteen retiring members, completed the number required, and they were declared duly elected. The council now comprises: Rev. S. G. Harris (Rector), Capt. E. Kitson, and Messrs. C. Vicary, J. Olver, W. S. Pinsent, A. Segar, W. L. Shilston (Littlejoy), R. Pascoe, C. Adams, (Howton Barton), J. Rogers, C. Adams (Plumber), T. Weathdon, W. Badcock and W. H. Jarvis.
