duties that devolved upon him in his capacity of Councillor as well as of Mayor of the borough , he won for himself the esteem , not only of the members of the Council , but also the warm commendation of his fellow-townsmen . As a politician , he was a supporter of Liberal opinions , ancl as a citizen most active and energetic in promoting the interests of the public .
