Twenty years ago local items report a gang of yeggs blew the Farmers State Bank vault front door but could not enter the vault and fled, leaving their tools. Flooding followed two inches of rain raising Banic and Monocacy streams to the highest level since 1929, devastating acres. The Board of Aldermen moved to draft a $20 000 bond issue for Singanore Creek water works. The Rotary Club planned to plant 360 waste ash trees along the city’s southern approach to the Monocacy battlefield near Frederick Junction.
