Board Pays Tribute
To Henman C. Dunker
Though Dr. Herman C, Dun-

the Village Board during the
past year, his associates of a ri-val
political party, paid tribute to
him as he attended his Anal
meeting as a Village trustee on
Friday night.
. "As this is the last meeting of
the Board Dr. Dunker will at-tend
as a member, I wish to of-fer
% resolution commending his
work on the Board/' Joseph H.
Gallo said. The resolution was
.adopted unanimously.
George E. VanNostrand, vet
eran civic worker, also paid trib
utc to Dr. Dunker and Village
Clerk William J. Marvin.
"I presume/' he said, "that thia
is the final meeting Trustee Dun-ker
and Mr. Marvin will attend
as omcials of this village." He
added both had been extremely
courteous in their relations with
him. He added Dr. Dunker had
been "straight forward in what-ever
he has felt or said/' while
he described Mr. Marvin as a
public servant.
Incidently, Dr. Bunker moved
thc'adoption of "the final matter
tn come before the board with
him as a member. This was to
