REYNDERS To POLL
OMPL|MENTARY VOTE
Leaders Predict He Will Be Given
Largest Majority in Home
Ward; His Record Pleases

With the primaries Just a week
up their followers for the final show
down. In several of the contests
rivalry is keen, while in a few there
will be practically no opposition to the
men who are at present occupants Of
offices.
One of these cases is in the Third
ward. where J. V. w. Reynders Is a
candidate for reelection to his seat in
council. His nomination will probably
be practically unanimous.
Following the custom since the or
ganization of the borough, Mr.. Reyn-
ders. the highest resident official OF
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, has
represented the borough's principal in
dustrial interests in council.
In Office Seven Years
Since his election to that body seven
years ago Mr.. Reynders has been the
presiding officer. During this time the
borough tax rate has been reduced,
more than seven miles of paved streets
have been constructed and a new
30-inch intake has been built into the
filter plant, which now has capacity
sufficient to furnish Highspire, Oberlin
would make 1t possible to either re-
duce Steelton's water rates or to de-
vote greater funds to public improve
ments. Other public improvements
carried out during Mr.. Reynders' term
in Office include the handsome Locust
street steps. the erection of the new
Hygienic Hose house and additions
to the Baldwin and West Side hose
houses: the purchase of a new Heisler
pump at the filter plant, the purchase
of a new chemical truck for the Citi-
zen Fire Company and a wonderfully
improved sewerage system.
Although a busy man on accoun.
of his duties with the steel company,
Mr.. Reynders has devoted much of
his time and his far-sighted ability to
the interests of the taxpayers. His
aim has always been a bigger and
more attractive Steelton. To this end
! he has labored necessarily.
That the voters of his own ward will
register their appreciation of his serv-
| ices next week is certain, according to
well-informed observers. His friends
regardless of party, are planning to
give him the largest majority ever
| given a Third ward contest
