Northam: Mr. W. Pickard presided at Northam District Council on Saturday. … (Angry discussion about the proposal sale of the Isolation hospital as it was unfit to receive patients and a proposed new owner wanted a decision on its future at that meeting) … … Mr. Fulford thought Mr. Wilson-Hoare was partly justified in his action. When he was negotiating with the Pinsent trustees, he was given to understand the Board were in a treaty for the property for £330. – Prebendary Churchward read from the minutes that on 12th November 1982, the clerk reported that the Pinsent trustees declined to accept £330 to rearrange Commons Farms so as to meet the requirements of the County Council with reference to the width of the road. There they had the breaking of the negotiations by the Pinsent trustees, and the minutes supplied a link between the clerk’s letter of October 1892, and something which if properly understood, might prevent the possibility of the misunderstanding being continued. – Mr. Fulford said Mr. Wilson-Hoare’s contention was that he never stood in the way of widening the road. He was willing from the first to accept any offer according to the arrangement with the Pinsent trustees. – Prebendary Churchward – Mr. Wilson-Hoare is evidently not aware that the Pinsent trustees closed the negotiations themselves. – Mr. Cawsey, He is perfectly aware of it. It was resolved that Mr. Wilson-Hoare be informed that his letter would be considered at a special meeting.

Northam: The first meeting of the Northam District Council since the election was held on Saturday: Mr. W. L. Pike taking the chair pro tem. … (discussion of street widening project) … Mr. Cawsey said Mr. Wilson Hoare had told them he did not wish to give up any more of the farmhouse which abutted on the road than was absolutely necessary, and the committee recommended widening to 19 feet, which was a lot less than was originally intended. Mr. Wilson Hoare had said he must consult Mr. Thorpe to know what he should ask for the land. Mr. Fulford said everybody agreed that this was a dangerous corner, and they ought to give Mr. William Hoare a fair price. Mr. Cawsey remarked that when they offered a price to the Pincent Trustees, who formerly owned the land, Mr. Fulford was not pleased. Mr. Fulford said he had always maintained that they ought to have carried out their original agreement. The Chairman said the Pincent Trustees absolutely refused to sell to the Board …
