Council's Presentation to the Surveyor
The approaching marriage of Mr Leslie G. Dashper, Surveyor of Sandown, was marked by an interesting presentation made at the close of the business of the Urban District Council on Tuesday evening.
The Chairman (Major W.T.Arnell, J.P.) on rising to present Mr Dashper with a handsome silver rose bowl and a pair of silver candlesticks, said it was a very pleasant duty to make a presentation which had been subscribed for by the members of that Council.
He could assure Mr Dashper that every member was only too glad of the opportunity of showing their appreciation of the services their Surveyor had rendered the town. (Hear, Hear.)
He hoped he would accept the presentation as a token of the good will of the Council, and that he might live for many years with the future Mrs Dashper, and that it would serve to remind him of the pleasant days he had spent as Surveyor to that Council. (Hear, Hear, and applause).
Mr Dashper, in a few happily chosen remarks, thanked the Council on behalf of himself and the future Mrs Dashper, for the very handsome present they had given him.
The rose bowl, it may be added, bears the inscription: "Presented to Mr Leslie G. Dashper by the Chairman and Members of the Sandown Urban District Council on the occasion of his marriage June 19th, 1909."
