Baltimore Seeks to Abandon Monrovia Agency Near Frederick
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad asked the Public Service Commission to abandon its Monrovia agency near Frederick Md arguing traffic is insufficient to justify it. Opponents led by Siegfried Goetze said figures misrepresent local needs as residents would have to travel to Frederick or Mt Airy for shipments. The railroad cites annual costs of about 3700 dollars and less than one freight shipment daily with one hour work for the agent. A prior hearing on the request was continued. The article also notes President Truman urging a strong U S as key to peace at a DAR congress.
