Meeting of the Surrey County Council reported in 1928 after his death.

THE LATE COUNCILLOR DREWETT

Referring to the death of Mr. J. Drewett, one of the members for Mitcham, the Chairman says he was sure they would all share his regret that a member of the Council who was present with them at their last meeting was not there that day. Mr. Drewett had been a member of the Council from 1916 to 1926. After a period of retirement, he came back in March last. He was a member of several committees, was exceedingly active in connection with local matters at Mitcham, and altogether did a tremendous amount of work.

A vote of condolence with the relatives was passed.
