"BILLKORTT CANDIDATE FOR CHIEF RURGESS HAKES IMFORT.\OT STATEMENT
A few days ago a group of cur citizens were discussing local aflairs of the Borough, when into the group walked "Bill' Kortz, the candidate for the Democratic nomination of Chief Burgess. One cf the ?roup remarked—"here is the next Mayor" —; Bill said, "not so fast boys, tliere are others in the race this year,"
Continuing the conversation, Mr, Kortz said; "when I consented to allow my name to be placed In nomination for this ofHce, I under¬ stood that the venerable gentleman who holds the office now w.-uid not run again and that nobody else would consent to run. Therefore, as a civic duty. I yielded to the per¬ suasion of some of our citizens and con.sented to be a candidate for the ofBce." Mr, Kortz further said; "and why should I not take this re.-p.nsi- blUty, if elected? Nazareth is my hometown, I was born here, 1 was rai.sed here and I h.ive received the benefits of the service-, of o:h:r public spirited citizens in the years past, who have served in this same ofBce, In Council, on the School Board and other ofBces. In this same spirit I served In Town Council for the past four years and think that all citizens qualified to servt their community should do so for a period of time when called upon."
"But." said one of the group, "they say that If you are elected Burgess you would close up the Park on Sundays, stop Sunday baseball, close up clubs and make this a blue-law town," "That la palHical prapataiMU", said Mr, Kortz. "H I an clecled. I wmM be ¦¦rgew al lh« whale town an< imI af the few who may Ihlnk as I ri*. After all," continued Mr. Kortz, "C'avncll enaeU thc iM-al law* in accordance with the itate Borough Code and conforming with state laws enacted by our leg¬ islature. The Burgess Is only the local law enforcing ofBcer, and I would not attempt to enforc any antiquated  blue  laws."
"May we print wh.it you have j;ist said." asked a reporter for THE ITEM. "Certainly," ^aid Mr. Kortz, "and ad.l this:—Irotead of bringing into ofQce of Chi'f B'-irgess a big stick, I have In mind a l'.ader- ship that Is persuasive rat ther than one of compulsion. If elected, I will be happy to serve, bu: if either of my opixiiient.s are elected, I wii! be quite content with the decision oi the voter>."
Thus ended an interesting conver- .sation between civic-minded citizens of town and one of the candidatcj for the offl:e of Chief Burgess,
