He was for two years a member of the Harrison School Committee, and during the last four years has served as a member of the Board of Aldermen of Harrison. He was one of the founders and a charter member of the Harrison Fire Department and the first President of Neptune Hose Company, and from the first has taken an active interest in the department's prosperity. Public spirited, enterprising, and patriotic, he is esteemed and respected, and has won and maintained the confidence of all who know him.
