Planning staff recommends school construction delays in Frederick County
The planning staff proposes delaying Walkersville Middle and Middletown High additions to September 1997 and 1998 respectively, as the $16.1 million funded portion of the $40.4 million six year plan covers only routine upgrades. If Orchard Grove Elementary is not funded, officials may push Walkersville Middle earlier.

Milk commission watered down in Maryland bill action
Maryland dairy farmers failed to win state price supports as the House Environmental Matters Committee rewrote a bill to create a 17 member task force to study the dairy industry and report to the governor and General Assembly by year end. The measure seeks only study and recommendation, not a binding wholesale price mandate, despite Gov. Glendening’s backing. The original plan for a seven member panel to set minimum prices was dropped amid legislative resistance to state price setting.
