Voting Outlook Slim Local Contests In Spotlight Today
Middletown voters face light turnout as 18 926 register ed voters may cast ballots. The three cornered Middletown City Commission race lacks vigor while school board races draw more interest. Nearby Trenton may see a larger turnout for mayoral contest and Monroe focuses on sewer bond issue. Levy renewals for school operation and tuberculosis care remain key issues. Weather predicted favorable for voting. League of Women Voters offers transportation to polls tomorrow with phone numbers for pickup. Polls open 6 30 a m to 6 30 p m with state and county offices closing at noon. Greene & Ladd will also close tomorrow.
