Aug. 12.—Census fg- ures announced from Washington give Middletown’s population as 13,638, an increase of 1,787, or .15.1 per cent, in 10 years, New Head of Health Department Asks Public for Help in Keeping City Sanitary. The following statement was given out this morning by Dr. J. M. Klein, acting superintendent of health, rela- tive to co-operation by the people of the city with the public health offi- cials in the matter of the collection of garbage. The statement follow “Complaints regarding the collec tion of garbage seem to be quite nu- merous and some of them appear to be justified. Others, however, show a lack of co-operation in providing cans big enough to hold the accumu- lation betwcen the regular visits of the collector. Some of the cans be- ing used to hold the garbage of two or more families, which could not reasonably be expected to hold the garbag: of one family.” At the meeting of the board of health, Tuesday of this week Doctor Frank Zwic the chairman of the board and the acting supetintendent, Doctor J. M. Klein were appointed to make a study of the conditions re- zarding the collection of garbage and this work is well under way. Report will be made to the board at the next meeting and the findings submitted. The public is asked to co-operate in providing enough cans—and of sufficient size to hold the garbage When on= stops to think of the small amount of money provided the city for the purpose of garbage col- lection ($56) for a population of ap- proximately 60,000, allows less than 10 cents per person a year. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date) .
