County health grants questioned by advisory councils
Frederick County health advisory councils charge the health department with diverting grant funds to administrative costs, saying about 40 000 this year is used for admin expenses rather than direct programs like drug counseling. Officials defend the spend while planning two new sanitarians and warn of underfunding across 47 programs. The dispute centers on state and federal grant allocations and late payments.

City Officials See No Major Jump in Local Drug Use
Frederick police chief Richard Ashton notes drugs are easier to obtain but unclear whether rising arrests reflect greater use or stricter policing. City drug arrests rose from 53 in 1964 to 120 in 1985 and continue rising. Mayor Ronald Young plans neighborhood outreach to curb trafficking on All Saints Street. Hospital chief Barbara Walter describes more cocaine, PCP, heroin and prescription drug abuse with a shift to a higher class user, while teens are seen in the 16 to late 20s range and crack use remains relatively low.
