In May 1908 he was appointed Inspector of works & traffic licenses.

- GUNNER GUY B SAXELBY, It was a happy inspiration that induced the members and staff of the Wallace County Council to tender their late Inspecting Engineer Mr G. B. Saxelby an official send-off while down on his final leave before sailing for the front with the 25th reinforcements. The gathering, which took the form of a dinner, in Keith's Hotel on Wednesday evening was presided over by Mr W.J.A. McGregor, Chairman of he Council. After effectively dealing with the good things provided by Host Keith and honouring the loyal toast "The King", the Chairman proposed "The Guest", and in doing so said he was proid to know that Mr Saxelby was going forward to do his bit in the homeric struggle; he considered that the young fellows who were flocking to the colours, were deserving of their highest regard, young fellows like their guest who were acting the man. The Chairman paid a glowing tribute to the genious of Britain's Premier Mr Lloyd George, the man he believed who could be considered the greatest civilian of the age, who at the crucial moment stepped into the shoes of the Soldier Statesman, the late Earl Kitchener. With such men in the lead, and with loyal soldiers of the type of their guest, pouring in from every part of the Empire, he felt confident, that we now had the enemy at bay, and on a fair way to defeat and the punishment he so justly deserved. The Chairmans remarks were punctuated with approval by those present.

From the BUSH ADVOCATE - 8th August 1907
.. OUT ALL NIGHT ..
On Saturday morning, the Oxford-Kaiapoi train, due about seven o'clock at West Eyreton, had passed that station two miles, when a man was seen lying stretched out, apparently dead, on the road near the line. Guard Nelmes and the engine-driver, Stirling, pulled up the train. They found the man quite benumbed with the sharp frost, and unable to move. With assistance, he was lifted into the guard's van, and conveyed to Kaiapoi. There the police conveyed him in a van to the police station, where he was wrapped in blankets, and attended, and a doctor was called in. The man's name was ascertained to be Frank Brown. He was a passenger on Friday evening's train to West Eyreon, arriving at 7p.m. and got off to go to a farm where he was employed, about two miles away. He had with him a bottle of whisky, and sat down by the wayside and drank its contents, and fell asleep. This was on an open and exposed part of the country, and considering that there was from 8 to 10 degrees of frost, it is almost a wonder that he survived the experience. He was able to appear at the Kaiapoi Court report the Press, and was ordered to ay 12s 6d expenses.
From the STAR - 8th March 1909
.. Wallace Wilfred Nelmes, second-class guard, appealed against his retention as second-class guard, and claimed that he should have been promoted in the classification list of April, 1908, to first-class guard. He conducted his own case
