Smith MAYOR FOR SIX TERMS Narromine has lost one of its most public-spirited citizens. Jeremiah William Smith, Mayor of the town for six consecutive terms, died early yes terday morning after a lengthy ill ness. A man who took his public responsibilities seriously, he will be Mr. Smith was born at Peak Hill 63 years ago, and had been a resident of Narromine since 1904. He was a member of the first Council after the proclamation of the municipality, then retired from public life until he again was elected to the Council in 1920. Since then he had been in office con tinuously, and was Mayor for six con secutive terms. On account of his ill ness he resigned as Mayor some months ago, but continued his alder manic duties. He closely identified himself with any movement designed to advance the town of his adoption, and during his terms as Mayor particularly did much good for the municipality. It was due to his efforts that grants were obtained for municipal baths and saleyards, two of the town's best as sets. It was he also who was respon sible for the electricity undertaking which to-day is giving such a splendid service to the community. WORKED FOR ALL Mr. Smith was popular with all sec tions of the community, for in carry ing out his public duties he recognised neither class nor creed, his actions be ing influenced only by the merit or the case placed before him. Men ol this type are pillars of strength in a country town, and he will be missed by all sections, who had learned to appreciate his worth. He was accordcd a civic funeral at Narromine this morning. All business houses were closed from 10.45 to 11.30, and the cortege was one of the longest ever seen at Narromine. The Rev. E. H. Ellis officiated at the graveside, and the Masonic service was read by the Wor. Master (Bro. Mills). Aldermen acted as pall-bearers. The chief mourners were his widow; daughter, Mrs. W. Tresider; and son, Mr. . A. W. Smith (Trangie), to whom sincere sympathy is extended. The mortuary arrangements were carried out by W. Larcombe & Sons, ot Dubbo.
