County tax rate likely little changed this year
The Frederick County tax base review proceeds with eight days left to set the new rate by June 30. Officials expect only a small change from the present $1.30 per $100, with the 1925 county and state bases cited and a history of gradual increases since 1916. The report also notes a WCTU enforcement fund exceeding $100,000 funding deputies and a Harrisburg bureau, confirmed by an audited payment record and Governor Pinchot’s awareness.

Death of road engineer Dusenberry leads to arrest
Roy Bakewell, 24, of South Brownsville, was arrested in Donora in connection with Harold Dusenberry's death after Dusenberry, a Morgantown West Virginia road engineer, died from a fractured skull suffered near Uniontown. A coroner jury linked the injury to a fall from a car on the way to Uniontown from Shady Grove Park. Bakewell reportedly had $277 the night of his death but only $8 was found. A hat with R B initials identified Bakewell as a suspect. He admitted being with Dusenberry and provided a name for another man as a search target. Authorities said a Microsport girl helped locate him.
