BULLARD' States That He is Not a Candi Re-slection—Attituds on Charter n. for vi ‘Warden W. Irving Bnuxxd has made the following staiement. regarding his candidacy for = the annual borough election in April: “I emphatically state that I shall not be a candidate for re-election as war- den of this borough at the annual meeting next month. I make this frank statement to overcome any prejudice that may arise in the minds of voters of this borough when consider- ing tha revision. of the borough charter t the special meeting which I have called for Friday of this week. “My interest in a general revision of, the borough charter is puraly that of a taxpayer and oneé who has held the highest office of this borough for the past two years and has had opportuni ty to thoroughly study the present i adequate charter. I have been handi- capped during my administration by the indefinite and limited charter that we mow enjoy, and I sincerely hope that my successor will enjoy-all of the privileges of a modern, comprehensive and complete charter such as the bor- ough of lelson is entitled to have. “Every voter will have seven days in which to study and analyze the sug- gestions for. a mew charter before the meeting-to.bé held Friday evening. The suggestions we have made are subject to any changes that the voters wish to makeé. Their acceptance or rejection, amendment or qualification are to be ‘governed by the majorify voters mt- tending this meeting. -"Agliln Isrepeat that I shall not be a’candidate for warden or any. other oornugh office and shall positively re- fuse to serve in any offica tI 1 may be e]actsd to -at- this-annual borough meéeting.” FROPOSED NEW CHARTER. Chlnp.l to Be Submim to Voters for Adoption or Rejection at Special ‘Berough' Meeting. £ Residents of the borough of Danfel- s6on_are being urged to give careful study to one of the most important municipal matters that they have been called to pass upon in many years. On Friday evening, at the special boroagh mzeting, the oOpportunity will be af- forded for them ‘to present their views as to the proposed new charter. To do this intelligently, a_study of the new instrument .is_absolutely essential, as in it arz embodied principles ‘of govern- ment radically different from those set down in the charter now in force. In effect it would ~be an amendment amounting to. practically a complete revision of the present charter, which fact will suggest that comprebensive action may not be taken without re- viewing in detail each and every one of its provisions. Primarily, the proposal to so swezp- < ihgly alter the charter applying to Danielson as a municipal corporation is not inspired by a desire on the part of any person or group of persons to make political capital or to, perpetuate |wlth.in the proposed instrument any favorite theories of local government. Its conception is the result of the ad- niitted inefficiency of the psovisions of the existing charter to fully maet presént day requirements, and to elim- inate what may be referred to-as a . patchwork ‘municipal - guide, excellent in many ways, -‘but so~amended and re- amended that. it is not easy to contend /that it should 'indefinitely -remain in force. Whether the proposed charter will -appeal to .the voters as a satis- factory substitute is for.them to say. Ths borough officials. who have been at great care to frame an instrument that would adequately meet the needs of the borough the size of Danielson have given the subject much time and thought and study. They present the accrued result of - their delfberations without comment or recommendation. Friday night the voters will have the opportunity to approve or disapprove, to criticize .and analyze all and any parts of the 82 sections included within the articies of the proposed measure. Hence the necessity of study to do so with wisdom. While the full text-of the new charter has been avaflable for only.a few days, it is not eo compli- cated or revolutionary as to require that greater tima be granted in which to review it'than that which has been fixéd for presenting it to the voters. Modified Form of Commission Govern- ment. . - Perhaps the most striking feature of the new charter is its provision for a ‘modified form of commission govern- ment, wherein the responsibility for the proper conduct of each department of the borough- is distinctly.placed on the individual official in charge. Included, too, are provisions for: tha inftiative, referendum and recall. 1 it. also, are the articles which. will permit the borough to-own and e a2 water works and electric lighting systeni and Permitting - the Borough tfo construct sewers.
