City to Meet on injunction over new light plant contract
A special meeting of the Mayor and Aldermen is planned today in Frederick to consider actions after a court injunction blocked awarding the contract for a new city electric light plant. The petition, signed by 116 residents, seeks to halt plans, bond issues, and sales, and to require voter approval, with key figures named including Alderman Lloyd C. Culler and several former officials.
