Mr. Pinsent presided at a meeting of the Highweek Parish Council held Monday evening.  Mr. Rogers, sanitary inspector, reported that there were no cases of infectious disease. Tenants of Mile End complained of an offensive smell where refuse, etc., was deposited. Mr. C. G. Vicary suggested that the sanitary inspector should ask that mere lime should be used.

Vicary, it was unanimously decided that the Council express their profound sorrow the loss the Empire had sustained by the death of their late Queen, and tender to his Majesty and Royal Family deep sympathy. The lighting arrangements were reported satisfactory. Mr. W. Vicary reported that the Gas Company was willing to carry the main right through at Abbotsbury if the Council made the trenches. It was decided to accept the offer. On the motion of G. Vicary, seconded Mr. Shilston, Mr. Shapter was appointed on the Highweek Charity in the place of Mr. Jarvis, who has left the parish.

Highweek: Mr. W. S. Pinsent presided at the monthly meeting of the Parish Council. — The sanitary report showed that there was no infection or disease in the parish. Nothing had yet been done to the cleansing of the Lemons. — The Surveyor drew attention to a stream of water rising on the Abbotbury estate, and which was complained of by the residents in the newly built cottages as being offensive. He was directed to give the matter attention and report at the next meeting. At the suggestion of Mr. Wright, it was thought desirable to extend the area of watering and cleansing of the streets, but as it will involve additional expenditure it was allowed to stand over for the present. There had been no communication from Bearne as to the widening of the footpath at Heath Cottage, in the Highweek-road. — The Lighting Committee complained of several of the public lamps having been broken. A reward was directed to be offered for the discovery of the offenders. — lt was decided not to take steps to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Jarvis on the Council until after the next meeting. — The basis of a county rate was received from the County Council and found to be a little in excess last year. — The following were appointed Charity Commissioners: — Messrs.
