Maryland Marriage Law Affects License Wait Times
Western Maryland and nearby counties monitor Maryland’s new marriage law aimed at cutting annual marriages by an estimated one thousand. The law pushes licensing delays between request and grant to reduce marriages entering the state. Firefighters from the Civillac Conserva Corps battled a brush fire near Harmony, burning about 30.61 acres for three hours until control was achieved by a 12 man CCC crew. Night Desk Sergeant James E. Soit, a Frederick resident since 1884, longtime garage founder, veteran newspaper carrier, gunsmith and motorcycle salesman, was a prominent local figure and three-time Izaak Walton League president. He was a widower with four children and enjoyed hunting.
