Frederick City Board approves coal law and parking cut
The Frederick mayor and board of aldermen rejected a proposed East Patrick Street freet parking lot for lack of budget. A new coal ordinance merged former rules with the state law and set a $50 business fee. About half of Frederick county unemployment claims were denied for former farm workers, while 80 percent of Carroll County applicants were approved due to factory layoffs. A wiretapper case turned out to be a 13 inch rat chewing phone wires at Hertz Rent-A-Car. Light cattle were electrocuted when a power line fell onto a barn cleaner. Hamilton’s Restaurant burned after a gas furnace overheated. Mr and Mrs Glenn Young survived when a delivery truck crashed into their Tuscarora home, causing major damage but no injuries.
