Frederick mayor Hugh V. Gittinger sought 35 to 40 volunteers from the City Street Department to assist in removing six inch plus ice and snow. USO clubs formed an admin group with Ann L.

Costs Of Testing Drive A Week Of Overtime Losses
A worker earning 8 dollars an hour and 12 dollars overtime faces a 45 hour week. One day loses an hour of overtime for a vehicle emissions test and pays fuel. The next day loses another hour for a tune up and tips a friend. Early departure to pick up the car follows with another tip.
Letter on VEIP fees and future costs
Eugene B Troxell from Thurmont writes about car testing costs including minimum mechanic fees, early retests, gas, waivers, and escalating VEIP charges. He projects total costs reaching 1842 by 1997 and warn about newer cars facing tests.
Paying the price of county growth
The author argues that environmental regulations rise with population and economic growth. Growth drives more rules and car emissions tests, and without accepting higher costs, citizens will face higher prices for food health care and energy. The piece frames regulatory burden as a consequence of growth, blaming Washington officials and party dynamics.
