Andrew Greene Carnell, CBE (April 10, 1877 – January 26, 1951) was a Canadian politician who served as mayor of St. John's, Newfoundland.
To many Newfoundlanders, the mayor was the voice of the people as the highest-ranking official on the island that had been elected.
[1] Nevertheless, Carnell was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1939.
[3] Throughout his term, Carnell's administration continued to provide relatively stable and solvent government to St. John's, leading the way in debt relief, improving the standard and affordability of housing in the city and beginning construction on Memorial Stadium, which was finished in 1955.
The 'LaGuardia of St. John's' was defeated by his deputy mayor, Harry Mews, in the 1949 election.
