Frederick panel weighs half fare for disabled riders
The city board of aldermen and transportation committee will study a request by Douglas J. Halford of the Disabled Citizens of Frederick County United Inc. to allow handicapped citizens to ride city buses at half fare. Alderman James S. Grimes said the panel will invite disabled residents to present which handicap types to include. The action follows Halford's argument that full fares burden low income workers. In other business, the city accepted a 26400 bid for an ambulance, approved 2300 to install a sewage flow meter at Monocacy River station, endorsed engineering services for Singanore Water Filtration Plant, granted a Baker Park children’s fair on April 19, and allowed an Easter Egg hunt by Z-104 at the same park on April 18.
