Bunker, an aged veteran of Covina, had been 'granted a pension dating back more than twenty-four years, and will receive approximately $6000. Mr. Bunker has been a resident of thia valley for over thirty-six years and at the present time is almost totally blind through age, he being in his 82nd year. At the age of -twenty-one he listed in the thirty-eighth Massachusetts infantry and saw active service for Over a year preceding the close of the Civil war.

Being a single man, and never married, he made no effort to secure a pension until his friends felt that his infirmities warranted such action. 1 'Mr. McConneil has been working on the case for over a year and it is entirely due to his intelligent handling of the situation and hearty co-operation that he has received through Congressman Lineberger the above result. The aged veteran lives in a small house on San Bernardino road, where he is cared for by his niece, Mrs; Flora Lane. He has on.e brother, an aged retired Methodist minister, living in Los Angeles.

The meeting presided over by President Robert Neeley of West Covina and was attended by representatives from every one of the twenty-one cities represented in the associated chambers.

The meeting was held in the new city hall of San Gabriel, which is splendidly equipped for a large gathering of this character. The address of vrelcome was extended by E. H. Pale, president of the San Gabriel chamber of commerce and principal of the San Gabriel schools. The principal address was delivered by James Hoffman Batten, who has been heard before by the association.

Another important change was the transfer of S. Pearson, and street superintendent, to the position of nigbt watchman. Mr. Pearson will be succeeded as marshal by J. L.

Berry, who has been in the employ of the city for the past three months as motorcycle officer. Mr. Berry will now fill both positions. The position of street superintendent will be filled by Mr. Charles Commins, the present city manager.

J. W. Keefer, night watchman, has been transferred to the street department, where he worked prior to his appointment as night watchman. The change will take effect January 15th. The ordinance was read for the first time providing for the assessment and collection of city taxes to be made by the county.

This is in accord with the plan now operating in many of the cities of the sixth class. It has been found both economy and, from a practical standpoint, to be very satisfactory. A resolution was also offered and adopted endorsing the work of J. Eeagan, flood control engineer of the county. The resolution was similar to those provided to other organizations for adoption.

Raymond Finch Optometrist Phone for Appointment 104-21 In the high stack heater there is far more perfect combustion and compara tively little smoke.

The heat is deli? cred at a higher distance fi'om th ground, hence it has a tendency to rise rapiidly without mixing thoroughly with the air in the orchard, this bemf accentuated when the heaters are burn ing with the drafts too open and the re suiting flame rises from two to thre feet above the stack. The tall stacl requires much more careful attention and regulation if the most efficient use of the fuel is to be secured. This typo of heater, too, is usually more expensive than the low stack beater, so that the initial investment is higher. Both types in their improved forms have shown their effectiveness in protection against the coldest temperatures yet experienced, where orchards have been adequately equipped and efficiently handled. Both kinds have then- strong supporters.

OTHEPv HEATER TYPES Another type of heater that is used to a less extent is the so called "reservoir" type, in which a large capacity tank holding from twelve to twenty gallons is provided to feed oil to a burner provided with a stack. Its use has not spread partly because of the increased cost, but more because of the additional care needed in regulating handling the equipment when firing- The past two or three seasons have witnessed an increase in the use of carbon briquet heaters.
