Officials Tour Local District Court in Frederick
State officials and county commissioners visited the Frederick County District Court to review a proposed five year lease and basement renovations costing about 18000 dollars. County buildings supervisor Herbert Ramsburg said the cramped basement rooms and vault were hazardous and would benefit from air conditioning and improved electricity. The plan foresees opening two storerooms for judges chambers, with tentative lease terms aimed at covering renovation costs without a county loss. The story also notes Equitable Trust Company seeking to open a Bel Air branch and a potential Frederick space question that has not been raised by the firm.
