Frederick County funds survey to inventory historic structures
Frederick County Commissioners agree to fund half of a 44190 plan with a Maryland Historical Trust grant paying the other half. The four year project will inventory structures fifty years old or older to assess historical value and guide preservation without promising automatic designation. The effort reflects concern over vanishing past amid rapid development and aims to raise awareness of local heritage.

Frederick County News Highlights and Local Events
Six years ago a Frederick couple survived a crash after steering into a street breaker near North Bentz and West Sixth. The driver faced reckless driving charges as the car crossed the road, sideswiped a parked vehicle, and ejected both occupants after a porch impact. County officials continued cutting general public assistance funds, with $800 in April reduced to $700 in May and $600 in June, while requests for funds from other sources grew. A new law restricting beer parlors from midnight to 1:00 am Sunday took effect, with license commissioner G Ed Myers expecting compliance though his term had ended. The Freder ick County Teachers Association met at Frederick High to discuss the one million dollar budget cuts, with leaders saying negotiations with the board of education had not occurred. Forty-one evening students graduated from Governor Thomas Johnson High School, as Marilyn Ambush urged graduates to take that first step.
