Underground wiring petition signs reach eight hundred voters
The Citizens Committee for Frederick reports about 800 city voters have signed a referendum petition on the South Market Street underground wiring project. John E. Crawford Jr. says the plan calls for a referendum during the 1977 municipal election and that legal action could follow if the mayor and Board of Aldermen reject the petition. He warned the mayor may oppose the move despite the petition’s support.
