also built the Henderson & Drvin

Iced Men's hall.
Mr. Riordan has always been very
active in the public affairs of Nor-
yolk. He is democrat in politics: has.
served as n councilman, and was a
member of the Board of Water Com-
missioners.
In 1913. Mr. Riordan was elected 3.
member of the first Common Council
of the consolidated City of “Not-walk
which office he held for the past two
years. Part of this time Mr. Riordan
acted as Fire Commissioner and he
was also chairman of the Street De-
partment Commissioner.
It was during Mr. Riordan's re--
gimc that the Street commissioner
inaugurated the building of concrete
hands by the city line this policy for
s. time caused considerable com-
motion. It will be remembered that
South Main stlv'et. and Van Zant
streets were two of the worst streets
in the city as regards to paving. Hav-
ing sufficient funds on hand to cover
the expense. the commission went
ahead and paved those streets with-
out getting the authorization of the
Common Council in the usual manner.2
This action raised a. storm of protest
from the more conservative tax-
payers. and the members of the com-
mission were threatened with Sail for
their high-handed procedure. Mr.
Riordan has been a member of the
Board of Estimate,and Taxation for
Devon years and is still holding this
office. He is a member of the Knights
of Columbus of which he is past grand
kni ht. H '
