Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: Wednesday: The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided. The attendance of Guardians was large. It was intimated that in consequence of the new Act of Parliament the Sewage Utilization Act, the duties of looking into nuisances, or, in other words, the duties that at present devolve on inspector of nuisances, will in future devolve on the vestries of the different parishes, consequently the services of the sanitary inspector will only be required for a short time longer. He was, however, instructed to proceed with his duties for the present. Mr. Pinsent, Guardian of Kingsteignton, produced a letter signed by the overseers of that village, requesting that the salary of Mr. Gillard, the assistant overseer be not paid, in consequence his not having discharged his duties in not collecting the rates. The Guardians agreed with the purport of the letter and promised to do as requested: The number of inmates to be 248.
