JEATH OF MR. EDWIN J.
HAYES.
After an illness whiet lasted for some weeks, and wkich wiu of a very painful character, the Town Clerk of Birmingham, Mr Edwin J. Hayes, who formerly held a similar position in this town, died on Monday. The deceasei gentleman had been fmffcrinp from pleun v, and had recently cndergouo a critical operation, which no doubt contributed to bring about the sad and fatal result. Early on Monday it was seen that the deceased scutleman was Hearing hi* end, and at about eiglit o'clock Mr Waterhouse, of \Volverhampton, with whom Mr Hayes had for n long series of years beon on intimate terms, was telegraphed for to be present in hia Jaet moments. In hia early yeura Mr H*ye* wa= articled t<j the firm of Messrs Bolton and Phillip?, solicitors, of this town, and prior to his being appointed to the office of Town Clerk f this borough he was for some yea™ in practice in hi* profession. It was in 1857 that he was appointed to the oifice of Town Clerk of \Volverhampton, in succession to Mr Thomas Walker, and he rilled this position with much sbility and success up to the time of hi-* r^sig tion ip 1369, when, in tin face of great competition. he wa» unanimously chosen to occupy o like post in a wider and more important sphere at Birmingham, m the stead of the late Mr Standridjfe. During Mr Ha yea's town 'clerkship oi Wolverhampton, it will be remembered that two important events occurred, vb.., the purchase of the Waterworks r.nd the visit of 1-er Majesty the Queen to unveil the statue of the Prince Consort in Queen's-aouare. Tbe neeotir\tion» in connection with the former event were skilfully carried out by the deceased gentleman, and tne arrangement* with regard to the latter ware also efficiently conducted under hia •uperyiaion. I'll* departure of Mr Hayes from the town was e. matter of extreme regret, a«, during his residence here he had made a wide circle of friends, and the sume hus been tbe ease at Birmingham, wi?re his prescnca will be greatly missed, ilr Hayes, who wns, we understand, a native of Bikton, and who was about 6C years of age, leaves ;i widow and eight children to moan his 'lots. The deceased began liis business career as a paid clerk to Mr T. Bolton, who, it is singular to say, also belonged to bilston, and who ro»e to the position which he after>w»rds filled in just the same way as Mr Hayea subsequently made his. advance in life, ^ ilr Boltou'a father wo» a ba!:er at Bilston, 'aSfljfW Bolton commenced life as & clerk iu the otliceJRi Mr Thoiaaa Wood, ijoing from thence to the offices of Mts Holyoal; and Thaeker, .Mr George hobinson, and Mr Thomas PhUlips respactively. He was, first, managing clerk to Mr Phillips ; he waa afterwards lutiii.d to thnt gentleman; and eventually oecam* the partner of h'n old master. Mr Hayes continued with Mr Bolton up to the time when the partnership batv.een that fe-entleman and Mr Phillips was dissolved, and when that occurred h'! went into the office of Mr Phillips, to whom, as had been the case with hia late master, Mr Bolton. he bt^ame articled. Mr Phillip* was the father of tbe present borough Coroner. After beingadznitted as a solicitor, Mr Hayes, as we have already said, began practice as a bolicitoronbuown account, and continued to d'.> so until, by his great energy and industry, be waa so enabled to make_(u3 wuy as t"
succeed in g^ttinz th W ointnwr.t 01 j.o»n'Ueri ia equently that of Birmingham. Wolverhainpton < The Birrr.tnyitam iju «, commenting ou the death of the Town Clerk, says:—During his connection with the Corporation of Birmingham Mr Hayes was, from the nature of bis important office, iden;iried more or leu | conspicuously with every matter that engaged the atten' turn of the Council. Year by year the work of hij omce increased With tlie growth ot the town; but never had the Town CoancU occasion to express anything but the fullest satisfaction with the manner in which he performed his responsible duties. On the 24th of January, 1874, the Corporation exliiuiied their appreciation of bis services by raising his saUiy to £1,200 a year. It ia unnecessary to mantion more than a few of the principal works which the Council undertook during Mr Hayes's tenure of office. One of the first important scheme* in which Mr Hayes assisted was the bill which the Corporation promoted in Parliament for the purpose of deiKag with ths sewage ol Biru:ir._;hf;;i:, but which, after \ i.f twelv\s which has elapsed since that time ->Ir Hayes ha\n closely identified with Birminghvu, and in the dischfirge of his duties as tht* legal advi.^r of the Corporation, and a» its formal' 1 rsprtsentative, he bus rendered services v.h.'ch deserve to', be held in iastinK remembrance. During this period the J! duties-of the town clerkstip, and the amount of work li imposed upon the holde_r oi t!;e office, have increased in a 1 \e manner. Kot only has the general municipal + business largely crown, but several new departments of great magnitude nave been added to it—such as the wa^er • onci gas departments, and the sewage works, which ended in tee establishment ut the Drainage Board, in all matter * roiating to these extensions Air H.'iyes wa deeply engaged; and ou'y tUote who are iut mately acquaint ed with the ^ a.st arnouai t.J ll ' irlia-11 moutaxy work involv-.-d in connection ,1 ran | • form anv adequate i J *'
