Maryland Senate passes Roads Board and other county bills
The Maryland State Senate on Tuesday night approved three Frederick County measures and one Carroll County bill. Funk sponsor bills aimed to amend the Frederick County Roads Board, repeal parts of election laws on compensation and examiner duties for elections, and remove an obsolete swine and geese killing section.

Frederick County Roads Board Abolishment Filed in House
Delegate Harold A. Frushour said he will introduce a bill in the House of Delegates to abolish the Frederick County Roads Board. The measure, prepared this week, aims to respond to a February grand jury recommendation and is backed by residents across party lines. A separate Funk measure to shift board appointments to the County Commissioners and boost minority representation also advances with House support uncertain for Frushour’s proposal. In other news, the Census Bureau reports 3,000,000 births in 194X, the highest on record, surpassing 1923’s count.
