Mayor Ke:Lth Nisbet presented the following tribute to Councillor
William Davidson:
It i.s my sail duty to-night to pay triuute to one of us who sat with
most of.us at this Council table for a long time. Our late coll-
eague, Councillor William Davidson, whose daath occurred last
Sa turCJ.$.y , ·,
We all knew l:lim as Bill Davidson,. and I think that it is as Bill
Davidson he would like 'j;o be remembered.
This can be said of him -that whatever he did he gave his best to
it. He was one of those Who 1 having served his country on the
field of battle, never left off serving it in the years tha;t follow
-ed. His service on th:B .council proves that, as a member of·
pr,~ctioa.?.;ty.,~:y:e:ry .Qommittee, hl;l 'j;pqk ,a l:ively intr>;r:esi; iJ,l ~ll

regret that he wi~l not.l;JGJ,among.tki.O>OJe,present.when Aurora's new
library is opened. · His interest in the provision of housing for
thOs:!ii·;of ':).ower incomvs was nevGr ceas:tug. Those things however,
we~ ,.only a part of ~i.l'!,-bJ:'Qad,,view o:f oivip a;ffairs. Whatever it

needed to wonder where Bill Davidson stood on any question. He
stated his opinions and his reasons bluntly andstood on any question.
