Highweek Parochial Sanitary Committee: Members of Highweek Parochial Sanitary Committee held their monthly meeting on Monday. Mr. W. S. Pinsent, Chairman, presided, and there were also present, Rev. S. G. Harris, Messrs. C. G. Vicary, J. Olver, J. Wright, W. Shapley, T. G. Weatherdon, W. H. Brock, W. H. Jarvis, C. Adams, A. B. Segar, A. H. Burge, with S. Segar, Sanitary Inspector, R. A. Rogers, Sub-Inspector, and T. S. M. Underhay, Clerk: … discussions on drainage and then Highweek Parish Council meeting with the same individuals … The following further letter was also read: Local Government Board, Whitehall, S. W., June 14^th, 1898: Sir, I am directed b the Local Government Board to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26^th ultimo in regard to the communication of the sewers of the  Parish of Highweek with those of the Urban District Council of Newton Abbot, and I am to point out that the natural inference from the agreement between the Rural and Urban District Councils of Newton Abbot would be that the communication referred to therein does not at present exist. Moreover, the communication is distinctly referred to in letters of the 6^th, and 19^th April last, which the Board have received from the Urban District Council, as a proposed communication. As the agreement purported to be made under the Public Health Act 1875, and the sanction of the Board is necessary to communication of sewers under that Act. The Board treated the application as one for such sanction. The inquiry contemplated was with the view of furnishing the Boards with information as to the propriety and expediency of such communication. If the agreement and the letters referred to are incorrect so far as they imply that the communication does not exist, and the District Councils do not in fact desire the sanction of the Board under Section 28 of the above-mentioned Act to the communication of their sewers, they should inform the Boards to that effect. I am sir, your obedient servant: S. B. Provis, Assistant Secretary: The Chairman, Mr. W. S. Pinsent, presumed that no inquiry would now be necessary, and that nothing further was to be done in the matter. The matter then dropped.

It was reported that nothing had been done to remove the nuisance caused by the overflow of sewage into the road at Mile End. Mr. W. L. Shilston complained of the “fearful smells” arising from the spot. The Inspector promised to get something done during the ensuing month. Messrs.

The offer was accepted.  It was also decided to call upon the owners of Haligon Place to provide improved drainage. A letter from Miss Mackenzie, complaining of the rough state of the road leading to the Boys’ School was referred to the Rural District Council.
