SIR ALEXANDER CHALMER'S AUTHORATIVE CAREER IN WARSAW
Description
Alexander Chalmers (1645-1703) was born in Aberdeen and migrated to Poland in 1676. Alexander was given the Polish name of "Alexander Czamer". He served as a judge in the coronation parliament of King August II before becoming Warsaw's mayor 4 times. He was first elected as mayor in 1691. He was subsequently elected in 1694, 1696 and 1702. His duties included levying taxes, collecting rents and sentencing local residents for crimes. It was also said he had: <i>"Remarkable energy and skill in the conduct of difficult business. He had been the greatest service to the city."</i> There is now a plaque commemorating his previous home in Warsaw, which now houses a leathercraft museum, at 10 Waski Dunaj Street.
