Alexander Milne CB (fl 1818, died 3 April 1861) was a British civil servant who worked as a Commissioner of Woods and Forests for many years.
[2] Milne was reappointed to the commission, which had changed its remit to "Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works, and Public Buildings", by the King on 23 December 1834.
[8] Milne retired in 1850 and died on 3 April 1861 at 29 St James' Place, London, having served on the Commission for 16 consecutive years of its 41-year existence.
[10][11] This commission, whose members did not receive a salary, sat from 1842 to 1851 and was tasked with "enquiring into and considering the most effectual means of improving the metropolis, and of providing increased facilities of communication within the same".
[1] He was also close to the architect and civil engineer Thomas Telford and, along with John Dickinson (of the House of Commons), served as executor of his last will and testament after his death in 1834.
