Thomas Payment

Thomas Payment (July 6 1853 - January 13 1920) was mayor of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada from 1899 to 1900.

He was born in Manotick, Ontario in 1853. He worked as a bookkeeper with a railroad company in Maine. Later, he studied at the Ontario College of Pharmacy and opened a drug store in the Byward Market area of Ottawa. During his term as mayor, a massive fire, the Hull-Ottawa fire of 1900, started in Hull and burned across the river at the Lebreton Flats, reaching as far as Dow's Lake.

He died in Ottawa in 1920 and was buried in the Notre-Dame Cemetery.
