The police property room, begun in 1955, now stores thousands of items including cash and firearms. John F. Brashears manages records and tagging and tracks items leaving for court. By 1966 only 540 of 2411 items remained, with about 200 pieces currently stored. Recovered property ranges from guns and knives to cash and personal items.

Budget Tussle in Maryland Legislature Halves Agnew Plan
Both Maryland House panels advanced distinct fiscal measures as lawmakers trimmed Gov. Agnew's budget by about 5 million and endorsed a 120 million tax increase. The budget rushes to Agnew's desk by Saturday, else the session would be extended. The operating total would still be 11 billion, with 52.5 million for land and capital needs. Committees cut many of Agnew's 2,139 proposed new state positions amid existing vacancies, while some raises were scaled back or await departmental justification.
