Obituary: John H. Taylor, warden of the municipality of Halifax, and one of the best known and highly respected men in the county. Mr. Taylor, who was a native of Nova Scotia, was first elected to the County Council in 1889. He continued a member until 1895, when he was succeeded by John Burris, whom, in turn, he succeeded in 1902, having been a member continuously since, having been first deputy warden and then warden, to which latter office he was elected this year. His record throughout a long and well spent life has been one of incorruptible integrity, great kindness of heart an d whatever qualities are most attractive in the "country gentleman." He exercised in the council the strong influence due to a sense of his sterling character, as well as the influence of a particularly "convincing" winning personality. Stipendiary McDougall, in speaking of him this morning, characterized him as "one of the finest men in the county, clever, kindly; at all times, and in all circumstances a gentleman."
