Excerpt from Modern New Rochelle and the National City Bank Ten years is but a short lapse of time as days pass in our busy life.

The charter enacted by the State Legislature transforming New Rochelle into a city was drafted by the late John Q. Underhill, J. A. Mahlstedt and other influential citizens of this locality. On the passage of the act, I was honored by the citizens when they asked me to accept a nomination for election as the Citys first Mayor. I hesitated in giving answer, realizing as I did the magnitude of duty an acceptance would involve. I was not a novice in the line of local office holding, I felt confident that by experience and knowledge of public affairs I was to an extent well equipped to perform the work at hand, yet I hesitated.
