City Raises Hawkers License Fee and Tightens Rules
The Board of Aldermen re enacts the Hawkers and Peddlers Ordinance increasing hawkers license from 100 to 120 dollars and clarifying enforcement. City Attorney W Milner Roberts says prior law was ambiguous and hard to enforce. The new Peddling and Soliciting Ordinance requires any person group or business entity to obtain a license from the city treasurer before soliciting hawking or vending. An exemption is added for trader license holders from the fee though they must still obtain a license.

Delphey seeks local vote on group home site at 13 W. 3rd
Frederick County delegation chairman Julien P. Delphey said he would ask local delegates to decide by majority vote if they want the proposed group home at 13 West 3rd Street. He hopes the county commissioners and Frederick City officials also pass resolutions signaling their stance. The Board of Public Works deferred a $58,500 grant decision for the site's purchase, with a Nov. 19 meeting planned to act on the request from the state Juvenile Services Department, endorsed by General Services. State Senator Edward P. Thomas and Mayor Ronald N. Young voiced support, while Delphey sought time to hear opponents.
