Frederick Montgomery planners study power line route
Frederick and Montgomery planning boards discussed joint study of a proposed 230 kilovolt power line from Poolesville to Mount Airy. They aim to avoid impasse with Howard County by crafting a mutually agreeable route. The plan notes subdivision, school, and water site overlaps along the favored path. EPA has approved a Step I grant to study Hyattstown area sewage facilities, with a March 1979 target completion and potential hookup rate agreements with WSSC. Montgomery County also weighs farmland preservation via transfer of development rights.

Jail funding clash fuels county budget debate
County commissioners debated jail funding with Doxzen seeking 3,500 to cover part-time deputies while Fox urged restraint, noting a 30 percent per prisoner daily rise.

The panel also tackled marijuana testing linked to paraquat, with remarks on youth drug use and a joking note about using pot.
