ALBURY, Thursday: One of Albury's best-known citizens for many years, Mr. Alfred Waugh, 78, died at his home in Albury today after a long illness.

He was elected to the Albury Municipal Council in 1903, and, with the exception of one short break, was an alderman until his retirement a few months ago. He was Mayor for 19 years. He was also associated with the Albury City Band for 16 years, promoter of the Albury Ambulance service in 1928 and its president until his death, a foundation member of the Albury Rotary Club, and the oldest member of the Albury M.U.I.O.O.F.
