The Torquay – Newton Abbot Road: “The Knowle” Arbitration: An Arbitration Court was held in the Town Hall on Friday last to determine the price which should be paid for a strip of land which extends along the frontage of the grounds of the establishment known as “The Knowle,” up to its junction with St. Katherine’s grounds. It has become necessary to acquire this piece of the Knowle grounds in consequence of the road widening which is going on at the spot. … (continues) … In 1922 when it was apparent that the land would be required, the surveyors of both parties met and came to an agreement concerning the amount which should be paid for it, the price namely being £1,600. But the matter subsequently came before the District Valuer, M. F. C. H. Pinsent (sic) and, said Mr. McGahey, this was where the trouble appeared to have commenced. Mr. C. Lee Wright, the surveyor for the sisters, placed the value of the land at £1,625 and the district valuer’s assessment was £480. … … The Town Clerk drew attention to the difference between the District Valuer’s assessment and that of Mr. Wright had argued that the latter had put an inflated value upon the land. The arbitrator will make known his award in due course.
