Mail and road updates and Navy spending tale
Over the past two weeks the Western Maryland mail train again missed connections with the H and F trolley at Thurmont causing mail delays. A new state road from Frederick through Yellow Springs over Hamburg mountain to Grossnickle chapel is planned this spring if the State Roads Commission delegation led by Mayor Lloyd Culler gains support. A Frederick County delegation in the House voted 52 to 34 against the throwaway beer bottle bill. A fire at a three story 18 room Fletcher Bennett house caused about 3000 dollars in damage after four hours of fighting by local departments. Washington report claims damaged cars are repaired and sold as new with drivers accusing dealers and transporters of profits from damage claims. Admirals exit: a navy under scrutiny for overspending 110 million dollars, a whitewashed report blamed planning failures and two retired admirals faced admonition while others escaped unscathed.
