'Mr. Frank Proudman has been appointed as borough organist of Durban in place of the late Mr. R. H. Macdonald at a salary of £150 per annum. Mr. Proudman is a local man, and there was some objection to the appointment on the ground that the Council should have advertised the position at Home.' (South Africa Journal 3 October 1908)
