School Board Budget Tops Last Year
The Board of Education presented a $2,554,477 budget to the County Commissioners Tuesday with the county share at $805,489. Despite a slight rise from last year, the county is told costs will drop $173 next year due to reduced debt service. Debt service for the coming year is $274,688, about $47,000 less than last year, yet the county’s total requirement climbs to $1,080,177. The increase includes a $17,000 item for a $500 raise for 34 teachers with 25 years or more service and $11,700 for a Ridgely School furnace. Also, bids on courthouse reconstruction were rejected and the project will be rebid. As Roads Board, the group approved a $16,000 bid from Alban Tractor Co. for a self-propelled loader.

Ridgely Moves Toward Centennial Celebration Plan
Ridgely Lions Club unveiled a centennial celebration plan aiming to rekindle civic pride for the Caroline County town, set to reach 1967 as its 100th birthday. Led by Gene Steadman, the group urges property owners to spruce up the town, asks businesses to boost the economy, and seeks broad community cooperation. A postwar growth note cited 60 homes since World War I, contrasting with six built in the 20 years before WWII. Measles outbreaks are linked to rising school absences as illnesses strain health resources.
