State Senate OKs 20 Million Bond for School Buildings
The Maryland Senate approved a 20 million bond bill to fund school building projects with funds distributed to Baltimore City and counties by a 1 to 33 ratio. The measure moves to the House as key finance bills proceed, including a 16.373 million bond for state institutions and a 50 million credit pool for school construction. Governor Lane's administration backs the package, while tensions over Princess Anne funding and race track shifts surface during late session debate.

Economy houses face design and zoning hurdles in low income housing

Cost of small house rises little with size says architect
Architect Ellis notes a 780 square foot house shows only about a 10 percent rise in heating plumbing electric and overhead costs for an added bedroom, not the 220 percent implied. He adds that today's $7000 to $9000 homes must sacrifice quality or livability to stay affordable, unless space is reduced.
