This morning it was reported to have spread over 600 to 700 acres. The fire, on Derry about five miles east of Tower City, burned un- heckecl throughout the night. Warren E. Burkert, district inspector of the Weiser Forestry District with headquarters in Potts- vine, said today it is not likely the fire will be brought under control before tomorrow. The Derry Mt.

Heverling, 66, 405 Valnut Street, highly respected citizen and well known city commissioner, died last evening at nine o'clock in the Good Samaritan Hospital. In ill health or a year, he was re-admitted the hospital on Wednesday. His death cast a pall of gloom over City Hall. Mayor Frederick Miller had this to say: 'Heverling was not only the oldest city employe in point of service, but he also was the finest. 'i will be hard to replace a man ike him." Heverling first entered the employ of the City of Lebanon in 1909 at the age of 18 in the Engineering Department.

He served in that department and the Department of Sewers until 1917. Leaving the city's employ for a year, he returned February 1918 as high-way commissioner; and served in that position until now. He saw the streets of Lebanon go through the various stages of horse and buggy days; wood block paving in the uptown sec- Ions to the present, fine paved streets. Robert L. Heverling His cooperation with the engineering and other departments of the city goes unchallenged.

His loyalty to the city and to the public, and his devotion to duty can be measured by his response calls. Frequently during prolonged snowstorms, he went with little or no sleep for two or three days in order to keep the highways open. Heverling was one of the most efficient public servants this community has ever known. He was not above doing pick and shovel work himself if the need arose. His attention to details in the care of department equipment saved the city thousands of dollars by avoiding major repairs.

Requests for information from the press were always promptly and cheerfully answered. He was never too busy to look up facts and figures which were needed by the newspaper.
