MESSAGE FROM THE RUMOR We are pleased to present A History of the City Council of Edmonton: 1 892 - 1977. This work, written under the direction of The City Clerk, covers the growth of municipal government in the City of Edmonton over a period of eighty-five years. Initially, this project was undertaken to provide the various City departments with a comprehensive and readily accessible guide to past City Councils and Committees. However, anticipating that it might arouse the interest of the serious researcher, we are glad to announce that copies will be made available to the general public. Yours truly,

AUTHOR'S NOTE Although entitled A History of the City Council of Edmonton: 1892- 1977, this work is not a history in the usual sense. It does not deal with major political events or the effect of the involvement of various individuals in municipal affairs. Many historical details are mentioned, but most are simply referred to in passing - a solid history of Edmonton has yet to be written. This work is meant to be used as a guide to the countless committees, and the men and women who sat upon them over the years. Its function is that of a "Who's Who", and it is hoped that the searcher will readily appreciate its value as a means of quickly finding any mayor, alderman or committee member throughout the span of eighty-five years of municipal politics. The report is based on material taken from scrapbooks compiled by one-time City Clerk, G.S. Docherty. The scrapbooks contain information on city councils, covering a period of over seventy years - from 1 892 until 1968. The information, dealt with on a chronological basis, includes lists of mayors, aldermen and the members of the various committees created to deal with City business. Often, the itemized lists are embellished with newspaper clippings or mentions of national and world events, but on the whole the scrapbooks are merely bland reports. This work is an attempt to blend the lists into a readable form. The report is broken down into four sections. The first, in the form of an introductory chapter, deals with the historical dates sections found at the beginning of the scrapbooks. The second chapter is a history of the Village of West Edmonton (Calder), from 1 910 until its incorporation with Edmonton in 1917. The third chapter is a history of the Town (and City) of Strathcona, fram 1 899 until its incorporation with Edmonton in 1912: The last chapter deals with the history of the Council of the City of Edmonton, and is divided into two sections: a) from the incorporation of Edmonton as a town in 1892; and b) from the incorporation of Edmonton as a city in 1904. The latter part of the fourth chapter covers the years 1 968 to 1977, and concludes with the civic election held on 19 October, 1977.1t is based upon official Council Minutes and various other sources.

. INTRODUCTION - admonton: A Brief Hislorical Sketch In 1794, the Hudson's Bay Company and the North-West Fur Company founded Old Fort Edmonton and Old Fort Augustus at the mouth of the Sturgeon River, twenty-five miles below the present site of the City of Edmonton. A year later, in 1795, the Hudson's Bay Company established a fur trading post. By 1807, both Old Fort Edmonton and Old Fort Augustus had been destroyed by Blood Indians. In 1808, New Fort Edmonton and New Fort Augustus were built on the present site of the City of Edmonton. By 1810, these new forts had been abandoned for a new fort 125 miles down the North Saskatchewan River, called White Earth House, but nine years later, in 1819, Fort Edmonton had been reestablished. In 1825, Chief Factor John Rowand was placed in charge and built an elaborate fort with a twenty-foot high stockade, fortified with bastions and cannon. The Chief Factor's house, known as "Rowand's Folly", was the largest establishment west of York Factory. In 1841, Edmonton was visited by Sir George Simpson, who was welcomed by eight Blackfoot Chiefs, who implored him to "grant that their horses might always be swift, and that the buffalo might instantly abound, and that their women might live long and always look young." Paul Kane, the famous commercial artist visited Edmonton, and painted a beautiful half-breed girl -- "Cunnewabun, the girl who looks at the stars", in 1848. In 1 858 and 1859, Captain John Palliser and Flames Hector of the Palliser Expedition visited Edmonton looking for guides to help them cross the Rocky Mountains in their search for a railway pass. Also, in 1859, Lord Southesk came to Edmonton, while on a hunting trip to the Rocky Mountains. Lord Milton and Dr. Cheadle, members of the Royal Geographical Society, passed through Edmonton in 1863. By 1865, news of gold had spread, and prospectors arrived and worked the sand bars of the North Saskatchewan river, where returns are reported to have been fairly good. Modern Edmonton can be said to have begun in 1871, when the Reverend George McDougall, a Methodist missionary, arrived and built a mission on the present site of McDougall Church. Also, in this year, Edmonton was incorporated as a village. In 1872, Sandford Fleming, accompanied by others, reached Edmonton on the first trans-continental railway survey via the Yellowhead Pass, and by 1874, the North-West Mounted Police, under the command of Superintendent Jarvis and
1
Sergeant Major Sam Steele had arrived at Edmonton. Two years later, in 1876, Donald Ross built the first stopping house, and a mail service was established with Fort Garry. Edmonton's first newspaper, called the Edmonton Bulletin, was started in 1880, and at this time, the place consisted of five white people and many half breeds and Indians. Five years later, in 1885, the half breeds' and Indians' rebellion broke out in the north-west and Edmonton experienced a thrill reminiscent of the Indian war days at the post. In 1891, the Canadian Pacific Railway reached Edmonton, and was built to the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River. By 1892, Edmonton had been incorporated as a town, and Mathew McCauley was elected as its first Mayor. Five years later, in 1897, Edmonton was filled with thousands of gold-seekers bound for the Klondike. In 1899, and as its population expanded, the community on the south side of the river was incorporated as a town under the name of Strathcona. The Canadian Northern Railway built a railway down the valley of the river and Mill Creek (the Edmonton, Yukon and Pacific) in 1901, and this connected Edmonton with the Canadian Pacific Railway system. By 1902, the first by-law was passed, authorizing the expenditure forthe installation of a water and sewer system in the fall of the year 1902, the work to be carried out on the north side of the river and east of 102nd Street. In 1904, Edmonton was incorporated as a City, and William Short was elected as its first Mayor. In December of that same year, the City purchased the telephone system from a local company who then operated a manual switchboard connecting about 300 subscribers. The following year, 1905, Edmonton was made the capital city of the newly created province of Alberta, and was inaugurated as such on September 1st. The next two years saw the creation of a university, located in Strathcona, now incorporated as a city, and the erection of the Parliament Buildings commenced in August of 1907. In 1908, the City took over the operation of a radial railway, and this now became a municipal undertaking. The following year the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway to Prince Rupert was built through the city, and in 1910 a bylaw was passed for the expenditure of $25,000 to purchase a site for the Edmonton Public Library. Also in that year, the Village of West Edmonton, or Calder, was established (see Alberta Gazette, 30 July, 1910, page 369). The City of Edmonton and the City of Strathcona amalgamated, under the name of the City of Edmonton, on 1 February, 1 91 2 (see 2
Alberta Gazette, 22 July, 1912), and public libraries were opened on both the north and south sides of the City. That same year, the High Level Bridge was built at a cost of $1,500,000, giving the Canadian Pacific Railway entrance into Edmonton, and also providing accommodation for a Street Railway and other traffic. By 1913, the City had adopted the use of street numbers, and the 105th Street Bridge was completed that same year. The most prominent feature of the latter part of 1914 was recruitment for overseas service in the Great War. Expansion continued throughout 1915, as the Canadian Northern Main Line from Winnipeg to Vancouver was built through Edmonton, and the Edmonton Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway was built connecting Edmonton with the Peace River District. A Police Commission was also constituted that year. In 1916, the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway was built through to Fort McMurray, connecting Edmonton by rail with the McKenzie River Valley. Income tax was first levied in 1918, and all improvements were taxed to 60% of their value. In 1919, royalty, in the form of the Prince of Wales, first visited Edmonton. By 1920, the Police Commission of 1915 had been abolished and the penitentiary closed, and the Provincial government took over the management of the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway. A Land Department was organized in April of 1921, in order to take care of property reverting to the City through the Tax Recovery Act. Also, in this year, income tax was abolished, but a service tax was introduced. By 1922, it was decided that the City Commissioners be made ex officio members of a Sinking Fund board. In 1923, a single transferable vote (P.R.) was first used in elections, and a Wednesday half-holiday (with exemptions) was first enacted. The correction of Voters' Lists by a Revising Officer was provided for, and a natural gas supply was turned into the City mains. On a cultural level, the Edmonton Public Library was opened on Macdonald Drive and the Edmonton Museum of Arts was organized and incorporated in the autumn of 1923. By 1925, the power to grant a fixed assessment was authorized, and the following year saw the creation of the power to contribute to Group Life Insurance. Also, in 1926, the Edmonton Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway was taken over by the Provincial Government. The payment of aldermen was authorized, subject to a plebiscite, and the Sinking Fund Trustees were created as a body incorporate. In 1927, the City was given the sole right to appoint the Hospital Board, and the single transferable vote (P.R.) was repealed a year later.
By 1929, a Town Planning Commission had been appointed, and the Edmonton Dunvegan and British Columbia, and the Alberta and Great Waterways Railways were taken over by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway under the name of the Northern Alberta Railways. In 1930, a local Board of Health was reconstituted, and the administration of natural resources was taken over by the Provincial government. Also in this year, the Calgary Power Company commenced interchange of service of hydro power. The Administration building of the Provincial government opened in February of 1931. Throughout the early 1930's, Edmonton, like many other cities, recoiled from the effects of the Depression. On 22 August, 1935, a Social Credit government was elected to power, and on 24 January, 1936, City Council authorized the payment of aldermen, at the rate of $500 per annum. In 1938, a trans-Canada airmail service was established, and in Edmonton both the Hudson's Bay Company and the T. Eaton Company built new stores. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Edmonton the following year, 1939, and in September, Canada found itself at war once again. After the war years, Edmonton's prosperity took another surge forward when the Leduc Oil Field was discovered in 1947. The following year saw the establishment of Edmonton's first refinery, Imperial Oil Ltd., at Clover Bar. 1 950 saw the incorporation of the village of Jasper Place and the building of an inter-provincial pipe line to Lake Superior. In 1951, the old Edmonton Bulletin ceased publishing, and four years later, in 1955, the Groat Bridge was opened,1955 also saw the beginning of the satellite village of Sherwood Park, and in the following year, Edmonton's new City Hall was completed. In 1957, the Edmonton International Airport was opened, and the mid 1960's saw the extension of the Northern Alberta Railway to Pine Point Mines and the beginning of the Great Canadian Oil Sands plant. Within Edmonton itself, 1966 saw the opening of the Canadian National Railway Tower and the luxurious Chateau Lacombe Hotel.

In 1914, W. S. Beggs was elected to the Chairmanship, and his fellow members were S. Irwin and a man name Toole. Omond continued as Secretary-Treasurer. Beggs continued as Chairman in 1915, and Irwin also served again, but Toole was replaced by a member name Fielde. A. H. Stokes became Secretary-Treasurer, at a salary of $180 per annum, and R. C. Webster served as Constable and Fire Chief at a salary of $10 per week. A new feature of the Council was the addition of Auditors, Kinnaird and Henderson, who continued in that capacity until amalgamation with Edmonton in 1917. The Council of 1916 saw the election of D. Cameron to the Chairmanship and the reelection of S. Irwin. Fielde was replaced by E. Jones. Stokes continued as Secretary-Treasurer, at an increased salary of $200 per annum, and J. Mullen became caretaker. The Council of 1 91 7 contained the same members who had held office in the previous year; it is noted that Caretaker Mullen was paid $10 a month. On 26 April, 1917, a ballot was taken to decide whether the village should amalgamate with the City of Edmonton. Of 33 total votes, 31 were for amalgamation and 2 against. On 27 April, Secretary-Treasurer Stokes wrote to the Edmonton City Clerk, Charles Cox, and informed him of the outcome of the ballot. From that date on the Village of West Edmonton, or Calder, became part of the City of Edmonton proper.

The Town of Edmonton Minutes, page 5, 15 February 1892, contain a sketch of the proposed seal with the words "Industry, Energy, Thrift," suggested as a motto. This was later changed to "Industry, Energy, Enterprise," - and this was subsequently changed again. All council meetings that year were held in Fielders Hall.

21
1 91 2 saw the re-election of Mayor G. S. Armstrong, and he became the first mayor of the amalgamated cities.of Strathcona and Edmonton. The amalgamation took place on 1 February 1912. (See 0.66, 1911 /1 912.) Also, North Edmonton was brought into the City on 22 July by Order in Council (See Alberta Gazette, 18 July 1912), and Kennedale and Industrial Heights, an area lying south of the Fort Saskatchewan Trail, were annexed to the City of Edmonton by Order in Council on 4 October 1912. Mayor Armstrong's colleagues on council that year were: Aldermen H. L. McInnis, C. Gowan, T. J. Walsh, H. W. B. Lundy, J. G. Tipton, H. A. Calder and J. East. Due to the increase in business caused by the amalgamation, the number of aldermen was increased to ten. On 7 May, Alderman McInnis resigned, and J. M. McDonald was elected, on 7 June, to serve out his term. In addition, Alderman Gowan also resigned, on 14 May, and A. Livingstone was elected, on 7 June, to replace him. The Board of Commissioners for 1912 consisted of Mayor Armstrong, J. Chalmers, A. G. Harrison and A. J. McLean. The number of City officials was greatly expanded in 1912, also due to the vast increase in City business. The office of Secretary-Treasurer was divided into those of City Clerk and Treasurer. The new City Clerk was C. E. K. Cox, and the new Treasurer, F. Barnhouse. D. M. McMillan remained as Assessor and Tax Collector until 1 August, but was then succeeded by T. Walker. J. C. F. Bown continued as City Solicitor and C. L. Richardson retained the office of Auditor. A. J. Latornell remained as City Engineer, and the new office of City Architect was filled by A. M. Jeffers. N.

Ormsby, Superintendent of the Waterworks A. MacLean, Fire Chief T. G. Lauder, Market Clerk D. C. Robertson and Medical Health Officer Dr.T. H. Whitelaw all retained their offices. W. R. Griffith remained as Superintendent of Telephones but R. Knight, Superintendent of the Street Railway, was replaced on 1 July by W. T. Woodroofe. The new Superintendent of the Power Plant was R. H. Parsons and the newly created office of Superintendent of Gas was filled by J. Brodie. A. C. Lancey left the position of Police Chief on 30 September and was succeeded on 1 October by S. H. Carpenter. The new positions of Superintendent of Parks and Superintendent of Roads were filled repectively by P. A. von Aueberg and J. Gould. Stores and Works Superintendent E. B. Butler was replaced by J. W. Brighton. Among the new offices created in 1912, T. R. Turnbull became Civic Relief Officer, T. M. McCallum became License Inspector, and E. T. Baines was appointed to head the Municipal Information Bureau. The 22
amalgamation of the two cities necessitated the addition of another Police Magistrate. L. S. Cowan, who had held the position for eleven years, was not reappointed. In his place, F. D. Byers was appointed Police Magistrate for the North Side and G. F. Downes for the South Side. The now obsolete office of Secreatry-Treasurer, held by F. M. C. Crosskill for six years, was given to C. E. K. cox after Crosskill's resignation on 12 April. On 20 August, the office was divided into those of City Clerk and City Treasurer. The standing committees for that year were: a Finance and Assessment Committee of McInnis (Chairman), Douglas and Walsh; a Public Works Committee of East (Chairman), Calder and Lundy; a Legislative Committee of Clarke (Chairman), Tipton and Douglas; and Industrial and Publicity Committee of Lundy (Chairman), Walsh and Clarke; a Market Committee of Gowan (Chairman), McInnis and Tipton; and a Hospital Committee of Mayor Armstrong (Chairman), Calder and Douglas.

Voting held on 25 March, approved bylaws 390 through 393, and 395; and again, on 6 May, bylaws 394, 405 and 406 were all approved. A more detailed report is given for voting held on 20 September.

It also provided accommodation for the Street Railway and other traffic. In 1913, William Short, who had been Mayor of Edmonton from 1902 to 1904, was re-elected mayor of the city after an absence of nine years. The aldermen for that year were: J. G.Tipton, J. E. Lundy, J. Driscoll, H. W. B. Douglas, A. Livingstone, T. J. Walsh, J. East, G. H. May, H. R. Smith and H. A. Calder. The Board of Commissioners for 1 91 3 was composed of 23

Voting took place on 24 February and 28 March on Money Bylaws. Whether they were approved or not, we are not told. The election for mayor and aldermen for 1 914 was held on 8 December 1913. It is of interest that this was the year in which street numbers were adopted, rather than the old system of named streets and avenues. William J. McNamara was elected Mayor of Edmonton for 1914, narrowly defeating ex-Mayor Short by a mere 236 votes. Unfortunately, a civic argument about whether the city or a private company should control the supply of gas, which had been discovered at Viking in November 1914, caused McNamara to be unseated. An election held
24
that December saw William Thomas Henry voted to the Mayor's chair for the remainder of 1914. The aldermen for 1 914 were: J. East, G. H. May. J. Driscoll, H. R. smith, H. A. Calder, J. A. Clarke, A.

Ltd. was also not approved. On 8 November, another vote was held on an agreement with the Northern Alberta Natural Gas and Development Co. Ltd. This time the voters gave their approval. In addition, on 22 November, a proposed agreement with the Edmonton Power Co. Ltd. was passed by almost 3,000 votes. 1916 saw the re-election of William Thomas Henry to the mayoralty, yet again, by acclamation. The aldermen for that year were J. Ramsey, R. N. Frith, J. H.
