William ARCHER,
Lawyer And Politician: 1919-2005
Toronto alderman was 'subtle, intricate -- one might even say
devious -- but clever.' He failed to become mayor yet won respect
as a dogged public servant who always did his homework
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, April
15, 2005, Page S7
Toronto -- While the rest of the country has to reach for a thesaurus
to find the words for how much it hates Toronto, William
ARCHER
was a rare breed: a man deliriously in love with the city.
Toronto was his town, every nook and cranny of it. An unabashed
policy wonk, his encyclopedic knowledge of arcane bylaws, municipal
regulations and rules of procedure came in handy in his years
as a Toronto alderman, controller and mayoral candidate -- especially
when he peppered his fellow councillors with pointed questions.
He saw himself as "one who has kept an eye on things, one who
has raised questions," as he related to this newspaper in 1974.
"The fact that I might raise questions has had an effect on people."
At times, it was "hard to see what effect that has, apart from
irritation," wrote one city hall reporter of the day. "Much time
is taken up with items he has raised."
The word "gadfly" came up now and then in relation to Mr.
ARCHER,
but it's one former Toronto mayor David
CROMBIE dismisses.
"He was much too serious to be a gadfly," recalled Mr.
CROMBIE,
now president and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Urban
Institute. "He provided very solid advice. We used to call him
'the grey eminence.' He was very serious about his politics."
And maybe even a little mischievous. At a 1974 council meeting,
with Mr. CROMBIE absent, Mr.
ARCHER called for a number of roll-call
votes for reasons no one could quite understand. Then, the tactic
became clear: He was racking up Mr.
CROMBIE's absentee record,
which, at the time, stood at about 17 per cent.
"Subtle, intricate -- one might even say devious -- but clever,"
pronounced The Globe and Mail.
A Toronto alderman from 1958 to 1974, with the exception of three
years from 1966 to 1969, Mr.
ARCHER was remembered by colleagues
as dogged, almost obsessive about digesting the mass of the dry
arcana city politicians confront every day.
"He was one of the few who did an enormous amount of homework,"
recalled Mr.
CROMBIE, who was elected alderman in 1969 and was
Toronto's mayor from 1972 to 1978. "There were a lot of people
who would show up to meetings having read the executive summary
or sort of skimmed [reports]. But Bill was very thorough -- a
detail man -- one of the few who actually read the by-laws."
Mr. ARCHER's wife of 47 years, Gwen, is more blunt: "He had a
mind like a rat trap. He could listen to two radios, the television
and read the paper at the same time. He was so honest, it was
sickening. And he'd talk to a fence post if it would talk back."
Even so, one colleague, alderman Karl
JAFFARY, described Mr.
ARCHER as "good at government but not at politics." Mr.
CROMBIE
once introduced Mr.
ARCHER as "perhaps not the best politician,
but by far one of the best and most devoted public servants this
city has ever seen."
Born in Hamilton into a family of Anglican priests, Mr.
ARCHER
worked in Toronto as an office boy while still a teenager, and
later as a junior with the Imperial Bank of Canada. During the
Second World War, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer
Reserve, and served in the Atlantic and Pacific. He left the
service with the rank of lieutenant-commander and never lost
his love of the water, sailing seven-metre Star sailboats for
years and enjoying a life membership in the Royal Canadian Yacht
Club.
He attended McGill University in Montreal and Osgoode Hall law
school in Toronto, excelling at both in debating, and established
a Bay Street law practice before the political bug bit.
In 1958, he was elected to Toronto city council and
to Metropolitan
Toronto council, and served as Toronto's controller from 1963
to 1966, the year he made a run for mayor. After a 12-week campaign,
he polled a respectable 41,000 votes, but lost to fellow controller
William DENNISON, who proved a careful and quiet mayor. Some
blamed Mr.
ARCHER for causing the defeat of the more flamboyant
incumbent mayor, Phil
GIVENS, and
as Mr. ARCHER told his supporters
on election night, "We shook the city up quite a bit."
As former Toronto mayor, recent Senate appointee Art
EGGLETON,
remembers the '66 campaign, where Mr.
ARCHER's slogan was "
ARCHER
listens, learns... leads."
"He followed it, though he didn't always go the conventional
way," Mr. EGGLETON recalled. "Not everyone agreed with him, but
he was man of his convictions."
Mr. ARCHER returned to his law practice after his defeat but
surfaced in 1969 with three headline-grabbing feats: In May,
he spent a weekend as a derelict in Toronto's Cabbagetown neighbourhood,
living on handouts and sleeping in a flop house -- all designed,
he said, to gauge the city's services to the destitute. "It was
the most lonely and exhausting weekend of my life," he told reporters.
In July, he drove a taxi for a week. "Well, see, I'm doing it
to learn more about my community," he explained as he handed
out a six-page transcript of his recorded thoughts and impressions.
"And let me tell you, it's the loneliest job in the world. I
mean it." His tips went to the Brothers of the Good Shepherd,
who put him up during his homeless weekend.
In August of that year, he walked the length of Toronto's waterfront
to get to know the harbour.
To anyone cynical enough to suggest these were publicity stunts,
Mr. ARCHER had an answer: Honni soit qui mal y pense (roughly,
evil to him who thinks evil). Whatever it was, it worked, and
in the 1969 elections, Mr.
ARCHER was back on council. "His politics
were old-fashioned progressive conservative, and I mean that
as a complement, a type that's almost lost now," says Mr.
CROMBIE,
whose term on council overlapped with Mr.
ARCHER's until 1972.
"He was progressive on social issues and pretty strict on economic
and financial issues. He was a man of principles -- his own."
In all, Mr.
ARCHER represented three midtown and downtown wards,
and served on a slew of influential committees and boards, including
works, transportation and planning. He fought for better pensions
for municipal employees, improvements to welfare and was chiefly
responsible for building the city's new fire boat. He also co-ordinated
the Yonge Street mall, a popular pedestrian walkway closed to
traffic that lasted for a few years in the early 1970s.
He clashed with council on two major issues: a 45-foot height
bylaw and the decision not to have separate elections for Metro
and the city. He called the latter "the greatest tragedy of this
council."
Mr. ARCHER lost to a left-wing candidate in the 1974 election
but the next year, he was appointed commissioner of a provincial
review of the Niagara region, followed by many years on the Toronto
Historical Board. In 1997, he received the Toronto Award of Merit.
His fight against the status quo did not wane. In 1986, a task
force on which Mr.
ARCHER served suggested more than a dozen
changes to the municipal voting process, including holding elections
on a Sunday in October, with separate election days for mayor,
council and school trustees.
Mr. ARCHER once said that voters make a few mistakes, but not
as many as politicians. "I only know I needed to do what I considered
the right thing," he said, "whether I stood alone or not."
William Lee
ARCHER was born in Hamilton on September 25, 1919,
and died in Toronto of heart failure on March 6. He was 85. He
is survived by his wife, Gwendolyn (née
BAMFORD,) and a daughter,
Janet. A service will be held at a later date.
