White was elected for tlie West Ward, whicli he represented for three years. At the first meeting- of the Council he was appoiiited to tlie Health Committee and to the City Hall Committee, being made Chairman of the latter Committee. The year following he was elected to the Finance Committee. At the close of his term of three years, he fonnd the pressure of other matters so great that he was compelled to retire from the Council. Shortly thereafter, he was nominated to a seat in the Harbour Commission by the Fédéral Government, and, by the Québec Législature, named a member of the Turnpike Trust. He was for some years vice-président of the Board of Trade, and has long been honorary secretary of the Anglican Synod of the diocèse.

He is a Justice of the Peace for the District of Montréal, and a member of the St. James Club.
