Carroll County property protests reassessment plan
About 400 Carroll County property owners filed protests with the Department of Assessments after property reassessments in eight districts. William Smith said one third of the county’s properties have been reassessed, about 8,600 accounts, with 160 complaints from Freedom District where 2,200 properties rose 13 to 29 percent. Hearings for Freedom District start Jan 4. others already concluded. Smith defended the method, noting taxes are set on 60 percent of market value and that increases reflect replacement cost rather than a uniform rate. The county rate is $2.36 per $100 of assessed value. southern areas may rise faster due to suburban expansion from Baltimore. Reassessments in the south and west stem from a state law requiring triennial updates, with new taxes to begin July 1, 1971, though Smith warned values will be higher then.

Opera Star Urges Replacing Key National Anthem
Opera star George London, Kennedy Center Artistic Administrator, argues that The Star-Spangled Banner is a poor National Anthem and should be replaced with another, preferably The Battle Hymn of the Republic, while outlining plans for the Kennedy Center opening in September 1971 and noting cost and construction milestones. The discussion touches on Key’s tune origins, public familiarity, and broader national sentiment around an alternative anthem.
