'''Arthur Latham''' was a councillor for [[North Ward]] on the [[City of Camberwell|Camberwell Council]] for 12 years, also serving a term as mayor from 1929 to 1930. | |||
==Politics== | |||
Latham was instrumental in agitating for the construction of the [[Camberwell Fresh Food Market]] in 1928, along with fellow councillor and businessman [[Harry Rooks]]. He moved a motion to construct such a market in [[Camberwell]], but this failed due to absent councillors. Despite this setback, plans were drawn up and the market constructed in the following year.<ref>[[City of Boroondara]]. ''Camberwell Fresh Food Market - 85th Anniversary Booklet''.
