Hughes proposes $90 million transportation aid plan
Gov. Harry Hughes released a $90 million transportation aid package aimed mainly at Washington area suburbs while directing $24.5 million in direct aid to 24 subdivisions. The plan uses grants to local governments and keeps baselines in check, with Metro costs shared 75 percent by the state for Montgomery and Prince Georges counties and no city subsidies for subway losses at the outset. Local tax hikes are proposed via a 25 percent rise in annual license tag fees, with $20 million raised from higher tags to fund the program. Specific first-year aid includes Allegany 423,000 and Washington 579,000 among others.

CHICAGO AP Montgomery Ward apologizes after a four letter obscenity appeared on page 122 of its new sales catalog. A spokesman said the word at the edge of a bedspread photo was likely scratched into the negative by a studio employee and is barely visible. The firm will apologize to callers while noting the issue is unlikely to affect sales.
