They also approved aerial spraying of the Shank Etzler quarry for mosquitoes and approved extensive upgrades to three tennis courts beside Baker Park, plus sewer and water extensions for a new Frederick County elementary school site. The council also reverted to two monthly meetings starting July and reconstituted the City Health Board, setting burnable Braddock Heights garbage disposal at four dollars per ton, while a plan to establish a $20 million Air Force Academy was introduced in Congress.
