Ruling Postponed On Road 437 In Maryland
Howard County Circuit Court postponed a decision on Road No. 437 after a five hour hearing. William and Valeria Roelkey sue Mrs. Price and the Grams alleging the road runs through their property and has been blocked since a 1936 bridge washout. The basic issue remains whether the county abandoned the road not whether it existed.

Senate Votes Ceiling On Assessments In Maryland
The Maryland Senate approved a 5 percent ceiling on property tax assessment increases during Nixon price controls. Senator Edward P. Thomas and Senator Charles H. Smelser supported the measure citing June 30, 1971 as the base. Critics warned the bill shifts costs to taxpayers and could hinder rural road and transit funding. Other actions included requiring clear dating on processed foods, refining wetlands protections, funding bike paths, and exempting lighter‑than‑air bodies from air pollution rules.
