County OKs $2.26 tax rate in 1995 budget plan
Frederick County Commissioners vote 4-1 to keep the tax rate at $2.26 per $100 of assessed value. A public hearing was held April 18. The board covers water and sewer work in Lake Singapore, Butterfly Lane charges, and a new public posting rule for developers. Commissioner Sue Ann Yingling dissented. The $178 million fiscal 1995 budget relies on about $9 million unallocated funds, suggesting a possible property tax break. Final budget approval is set for June 7.

Exhumation planned in Frank Olson death probe
Forensic experts will exhume Dr. Frank Olson at Frederick Memorial Park on Thursday. James E. Starrs will lead the investigation for the Olson family to determine if the 1953 Hotel Statler fall was murder or death by own action. Remains will be tested by medical examiners, chemists, anthropologists, and behavioral scientists at local labs and York College. The case traces to LSD exposure by CIA agents and a Rockefeller Commission finding. Ford apologized with a $750,000 settlement.
