Artist finalizes plan for bridge mural in Frederick
Muralist William Cochran completed the final plan for a proposed mural on the South Carroll Street Bridge in Frederick. He will present the drawing to city officials in two weeks, following unanimous support from the Carroll Creek Commission and approval from the Frederick Arts Council and Delaplaine Visual Arts Center board. The Historic District Commission workshop will host a possible sneak preview for Mayor Paul Gordon and the Board of Aldermen. The city votes on May 20. Antietam Construction Inc. has bid to clad the bridge with cast stone, with only the inner bridge and columns to be clad if the mural is approved.

Health department to restructure maternity clinic funding
State and county funding will keep the maternity clinic running through June 1994 during a transition period. Nurses will conduct home visits, coordinate care with private physicians, and provide counseling while private doctors handle prenatal care under medical assistance reimbursements. The change aims to save about $50,000 yearly by reducing contracted doctor services, and staff will shift to broader public health roles.
