Highweek Parish Council: A meeting of this body was held on Monday evening at the Girls’ Schoolroom … … Lighting of the Parish … … (discussion) … …  Mr. C. G. Vicary pointed out that this would mean more expense. The Clerk mentioned that there were 54 lamps in the parish, the cost of labour in lighting which was 19s a week. Mr. Jarvis thought the lamps should be cleaned every fortnight. It was owing to the dirt on the lamps that the light was so poor. No one seconded Mr. Adams’ motion. It was proposed by M. Olver and seconded by Mr. Shilston “That Messrs. Rogers, Pinsent and Adams form a sub-committee to inquire and report to the next meeting of the Council as to the position and condition of the lamps, and generally as to the lighting of this parish, and with suggestions”. This was agreed to, as also was another motion that the lamps of the parish be cleaned forthwith.

On Wednesday the team journeyed to Paignton and defeated the Avenue by 3 to nil. Newton had the best of the game from first to last. C. B. Kay kicked 2 goals and C. L. Donaldson the other. H. L. Hobson of Newton College is an acquisition, his play at centre-half being a treat. P. H. Foster, the captain, was also in excellent form and Pinsent is developing into a very good little half.
