Snow clearance praised by Middletown merchants
Downtown merchants credit Public Works Department crews for a rapid snow removal over the last two Christmas shopping days. Kenneth B. Abt and staff coordinated 26 hours of around clock effort with 35 workers from labor sanitation and water departments deploying landing salting plowing and parking lot clearing. Alvin S. Chase of the Mid-Orange United Chamber of Commerce called it a remarkable job and the Retail Council expressed gratitude bringing good Christmas business. Abt noted gas station owners who push snow into streets as illegal and said police would issue summonses to violators.
