Roads Board Refuses Bond Recommendation in Frederick County
The Frederick County Roads Board declined last night to recommend a 300000 bond issue for road building after county commissioners proposed a 100000 bond.

Commissioner Collins noted state matching if borrowed, while Nottingham urged paving Talbot Run Road and improving 349 miles of dirt roads amid concerns over gasoline tax distribution.

Easy Winter Snow Costs Frederick County
Frederick County spent 835,864 for snow and ice removal this winter with labor at 2,488 and equipment costs at 1,000 not including Tuesday operations.
