Ernest Frank Webb was reared in London and there attended the

lege and then entered the business world, accepting a position as an ac-

where he resided one year. At the termination of that time he removed
to North Battleford and there became an accountant in the city offices
and when that town was incorporated as a city, in May of the year 1913,
he became first city treasurer and assessor. Later he held the offices of
treasurer and city clerk and resigned to engage in accounting independ-
ently, so continuing until he came to Prince Albert to assist in the re-
arrangement and reorganization of the city's finances. In December,
1918, he was appointed city clerk and treasurer and the duties of this
office claim his undivided attention.
