Personal Price Index guides tracking inflation by lifestyle
Economists propose a Personal Price Index to tailor inflation tracking to individual spending. The method uses seven categories and specific weights, enabling households to compare their actual costs to regional CPI. Officials caution on methods and suggest annual checks. Separately, Maryland’s high court will hear if educational malpractice suits should be allowed, a move feared to strain schools.

Weatherization space sought in Carroll County
Carroll County energy coordinator Jim Thomas asked county commissioners for warehouse space and offices for a new weatherization program awaiting federal approval. The plan, part of a state package to DOE, targets insulation work for about 60 homes yearly with 1000 dollars per home, prioritizing handicapped and senior citizens. If funded, work could begin January 1982 with space for 2,500 square feet and a supervisor plus three field workers at the old East End School.
