Mr. Evan Prosser was elected to the City Council in 1873, and represented the ratepayers of South Ward until the 1st of August, 1875. He was a Welshaman by birth, and arrived on the West Coast during the gold rush. Subsequently he removed to Dunedin, where, with Mr. Kempthorne, he formed the nucleus of the since-important firm of Kemptorne, Prosser and Co. Mr. Prosser afterwards retired from the firm and went to Sydney, where he died.
