of the Jubilee of the Foundation of that Institution, to which Address
Their Majesties made a most gracious reply. Amongst other Public Ceremonies
at which you have represented the Council was the laying of the
Foundation Stone of the St. Andrew's Parish Hall, at Earlsfield, by Her
Royal Highness the Princess Christian.
During your Mayoralty the Lord Mayor of London made an appeal
for the sum of £60,000 for the purpose of establishing an Institution for
the care and relief of Crippled Children, in whose welfare his Lordship
has for many years taken great interest. The energetic action which you
took in support of the scheme has resulted in raising in this Borough a
sum of over £600 in aid of this philanthropic project.
We cordially acknowledge your generous hospitality, which has been
extended to all classes of the inhabitants of the Borough, and the able,
courteous, and impartial manner in which you have discharged your
magisterial duties and presided over the Meetings of the Council.
Our best thanks are also due to the Mayoress for her graceful and
untiring services in assisting you in the numerous Social and Public
Functions which have taken place during your year of office.
We feel sure that the year of your Mayoralty will always be to you
and to the Mayoress a pleasurable reminiscence, and we sincerely trust
that the Borough may for many years to come have the advantage of your
valued services as a Member of the Council.
