Middletown Tightens Budget Amid Lean Year Woes
Middletown officials report a tight 1968 budget despite a 10 percent rise in the citywide total to 6 010 705. City Manager Dan W. Kothe describes it as the biggest belt tightening yet, with cuts across police, parks and recreation, fire, sanitation and general fund. The plan anticipates a year end surplus needed to cover 1969 and includes no new police hires, despite crime concerns.
