Bio/Historical Note: Thomas Lax was born in 1885 at Bishop Auckland in the County of Durham, England. In 1911 Lax came to Canada and in December of that year, while stone masons were still hard at work on the Legislative Building in Regina, he entered the Provincial Audit Office. In 1916 he was appointed Supervising Accountant in the Treasury Department and in 1925 became Superintendent of Revenue. After serving as acting Deputy Provincial Treasurer, he was appointed Provincial Auditor in 1936. In 1938 he returned as Deputy Provincial Treasurer, a post he occupied (while labouring at the same time on innumerable government boards and commissions) until his retirement in 1950. In the King's Honour List of [1946] the Imperial Service Order was conferred on him and long before this his profession had recognized him by making him a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants. Lax was appointed to the Board of Governors of the University (1946-1950) and later to the University Hospital Board Lax died in Regina in 1964.
