County Board Hopes To Keep Tax Rate At 1.54
The Frederick County Board of Commissioners aims to finalize the 1958 tax rate and budget this week keeping the rate at 1.54 despite calls for higher school funding and a tax ruling on inventories. They anticipate only modest increases to the assessable base and plan to pare expenses, with no major changes to the current rate. The court ruling and potential General Assembly action loom over the tax outlook.

Dam Gains 22 Million Gallons
Frederick’s Fishing Creek reservoir rose about 22 million gallons in eight days due to recent snow and rain, lifting water level to near five and a half feet below the top. By December 7 the dam held 35 million gallons, and at five feet the impoundment should reach 60 million gallons, with cooler weather ahead and light showers not hindering the upward trend. Post office operations for holiday mail ramped up as carriers started at daybreak, with two to three deliveries expected today and possibly two business shipments. Parcel activity at the Ideal Garage station set a new one time record, as stamp lines formed and housewives were urged to visit during off-peak hours to save time.

In Paris at the NATO summit Ike urged heroic efforts to match Soviet space age forces. He said the free world will join Russia to place mass destruction weapons under control while allies must sustain peace and liberty.

The talks foreshadowed a push to deploy intermediate missiles and warheads to European allies.
