State forest reforestation law criticized by locals
Residents object to a state mandated law forcing local governments to enact or follow reforestation rules after development. Critics say it raises building costs, shifts funding from local to state, and may see last minute modifications as budget constraints bite. Alderman Kreissig urges pushing back on Annapolis. Local officials warn of funding gaps if state provides no backing.

Winter Snow Hits Frederick County and Surrounding Areas
Fifty years ago on December 21 1942 Frederick County faced one to four inches of snow with near zero temperatures and minimal drifting while Washington County endured heavier accumulations. A gasoline tank car derailment near Thurmont led to a costly spill as crews contained a 7500 gallon pool. A fire at Day and Dutrow service station damaged the stockroom but caused limited damage. Draft boards registered 75 local 18 year olds amid an 18 year old cohort of 200 to 300 in the city and county. County officials questioned the Human Relations Council over its pursuit of New Market for neglecting the poor, and circuit judges considered longer term jury panels to reduce on call time.
