Eagles Seek Park Levy Backed by Middletown Fraternal Order
The Middle town Aerie No. 528 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles plans to appeal to the City Commission to place a five tenths mill levy for five years on the November ballot to fund an expanded park and recreation program. The campaign, aided by other groups, began August 21 after a August 18 citywide parks meeting sponsored by the Eagles. If approved the levy would raise about 67 000 for next year, supplementing 32 000 already allocated.
