Underground wiring work proceeds on city project
Mayor Ronald N. Young stated that the underground wiring plan for South Market Street will continue despite a petition for a court injunction by 18 residents. He noted the court is unlikely to halt funds from bond sales and defended the city’s legal steps while noting work has begun from Clarke Place to Patrick Street. The Potomac Edison Co will install wires July 8, followed by C and P Telephone and Frederick Cablevision.
