Description
Excerpt from Sir Thomas Smythe, Knt., (1558?-1625): Governor of the East India Company and Patron of Bermuda
When the current history of Bermuda comes to be written, the name of Salisbury Stanley Spurling will be prominent among those who by their industry and ability prompted the public weal of our Island home, and who have maintained and enhanced a tradition of good government.
Born in I 879 on a tiny Island in St. Georges' Harbour, Sir Stan ley has had a long and distinguished career in the public service of his native land. He was first elected a member of the House of Assembly in when 21 years of age, and continued to serve therein until 1942, when he resigned to accept appointment to our upper House, the Honourable the Legislative Council.
Sir Stanley has also had long and distinguished service as a member of Her Majesty's Executive Council in Bermuda, and has at one time or another been Chairman of most of our more important Government Boards, and has always taken an active and leading part in Church and parochial affairs.
As if this were not enough, Sir Stanley was also for many years the Chairman of the Finance Committee of the House of Assembly. This Committee has the onerous task of preparing the annual budget and advising-the Assembly on all financial matters. It is of this part of Sir Stanley's public work that I can speak with special knowledge having served on this committee under him for over five years. I can say with assurance that his contribution to public affairs has excited the admiration of us all.
