In late 1919, John Lumsden applied to Port Melbourne Council for the combined position of Dog Registration Officer, Meter Reader and Assistant Collector for Electric Supply. Over 100 applications were received*.

His application indicates he served in the Navy. A returned soldier, Sydney Ryan Carns was the successful applicant.
