Disorderly Meeting on the Westward Ho! Drainage Question; after a discussion which has now extended over about six years, the question of the drainage of Westward Ho! Seems as far from being settled by the Northam Local Board as ever. Some six weeks ago there were faint hopes of the matter being brought to a settlement as a letter was received from the Local Government Board acknowledging the receipt of a letter from the Northam Local Board stating that they were prepared to carry out works of sewerage at Westward Ho!

E. Reynolds asked Capt. Sangster whether the sum of £500 that he mentioned provided for the levels of the lower … of Westward Ho! Capt.

We have a scheme proposed by Mr. Risdon which was discussed, but we have no scheme proposed by Capt. Sangster …
