Percy Dowse
Percy Dowse, CBE JP (1898 – 9 December 1970) was a New Zealand politician. He was mayor of Lower Hutt from 1950 to 1970. He was awarded a CBE in 1965. ==Early life== He was born in Lancashire and educated at Wigan Technical College. His coal miner father James was killed when he was 8 and his mother with three children got compensation of only £140; Percy thought that “things didn’t seem to be quite adding up”. In West Alton Percy was secretary of the Trades and Labour Council and Organising Secretary of the Independent Labour Party. He became a mines inspector. He served in the RAF during the war. He married Mary Kirkman in 1922, and the voyage to New Zealand was their honeymoon (they had considered migrating to India instead).
