OFFICIAL STAFF.
(a) Borough Treasurer.
Upon the retirement of Mr. John Henry Lewis
from the management of the Hammersmith Branch of
the London and County Bank, which took place on
30th April, 1905, he tendered his resignation of the office
of Borough Treasurer. Mr. Lewis had held the position
of Treasurer to the Borough Council and its predecessors
since February, 1872, and the Council in accepting the
resignation conveyed to him an expression of its
appreciation of his valuable services as Treasurer of the
Council and its predecessors for so many years.
The vacancy was filled by the appointment of
Mr. John Frederick Long, Mr. Lewis' successor at the
London and County Bank, upon the same terms as those
attaching to Mr. Lewis' appointment.
(b) Town Clerk's Staff.
It is with regret that the Council records the death
on the 12th April, 1905, of Mr. William A. Webb, New
Streets and Cemetery Clerk, who had completed 25
years in the service of the Council and its predecessors.
