Frederick Officials Promote Two Police Ranks at Meeting
Mayor Lip Culler presented the board with the unanimous recommendation by Acting Police Chief Arthur Poulgen to promote Reno Q O Six to lieutenant and Daniel E Swomley to sergeant in the Frederick City Police Department. The move fills vacancies from Lieut Herbert L Strawsburg's resignation. The board also named Richard Young as streets foreman. Air raid regulations were revised to align with Army orders, and a Washington siren expert will assess the need for supplemental signals. City Engineer W Raymond Walter sought fire horn priority. WPB recommended using the siren. Tax rates were changed from 1.08 to .95 per hundred with extended payment discounts. Other items included rubber raincoats for sanitation staff and storm sewer work near the railroad.

Critics warn such bonuses strain taxpayers as costs rise for all and say education workers should not gain above others during wartime. Supporters argue the war effort necessitates attracting and retaining staff, despite broader financial pressure.
