 George Ryder was one of the four aldermen when the first Whitehorse mayor and city council was elected in August 1950. The council faced run-down schools, dirt streets full of potholes, a needed transition from “honey buckets” to a sewer and water system, and very little in the budget. There was no city hall, and mayor and council met in vacant stores and offices over the first few years.((Margaret Crook, Norma L. Felker, and Helen Horback. //Lost Graves.// Whitehorse: City of Whitehorse, 1989.))
