Heavitree Brewery: Annual Meeting: 20 per cent Dividend: A Satisfactory year’s business was recorded at the annual meeting of the Heavitree Brewery Ltd. Yesterday. Mr. G. Hardy Harris (Chairman of the Directors) presided. … …  (discussion of accounts) … … During the year the Company had acquired the old established business of Messrs. Pinsent and Sons, Newton Abbot, including the brewery, malt house and forty-four licensed houses, almost wholly freehold. … … The most notable thing in the report was the purchase by the Company of the business of Messrs. Pinsent and Sons, of Newton Abbot. This undertaking had been managed by Mr. Pinsent himself as a private concern for many years and by his father before him and had always been considered one of the most satisfactory and sound little businesses in Newton Abbot and district. The Directors had an opportunity of buying the business, and they did not hesitate to secure it. They had acquired 44 licensed houses all of which were freehold except four. Looking at the ability of the Company to turn out far more beer than was required for the previous number of houses owned, it was obvious that the new purchase was a very valuable acquisition, and the Directors looked forward to producing big results. …

Chudleigh Knighton: A special meeting of the Parish Council has been held at the Club Room, Chudleigh Knighton, Mr. W. R. Hoile presiding. There were also present, Messrs. C. Snell, G. S. Campion, E. Ellis, J. Gale, W. J. Tuckett, R. G. Chapman, J. R. Langworthy, and J. N. J. Hellens (clerk). The members of the Parish Council at Chudleigh Knighton had strongly recommended the allotment field as the housing site, but a letter had been received from Mr. F. W. H. Pinsent, the district valuer, to the effect that negotiations with the present owners had failed owing to the fact that the outlying portions of the Pitt estate, of which this field formed a part, was to be offered for sale on December 10th, and suggested that the Council should consider an alternative site. The Council decided not to do this, but to write to the Local Government Board to see if a loan could be obtained to purchase the field for the parish. A letter was read from the Ministry of Health to the effect that a Parish Council could not borrow for this purpose, but stating that steps were being taken to endeavour to obtain the field for the parish if possible. It was decided to send a resolution to the members of the Newton Housing Committee, urging them to do their utmost to retain this field for the allotments and the building site, as there was no other field in the parish to equal it. … …
