Frederick County Faces Further Tire, Tube Shortages
Frederick County will see a about ten percent cut in August tire and tube allotments versus July. The new Grade 2 tire enters the August quota with fifty units for defense workers, while passenger cars receive 33 tires and 105 tubes and trucks and buses get 200 tubes.
