Alderman Lee favored cheap meals, Wendy’s and deli purchases. The balance of learning value versus taxpayer expense remains the focus.

Frederick County bonds sale faces no strong opposition
Twenty years on the sale of 5.5 million dollars in school bonds drew little protest from main opponents who sought to block it. Robert L. Dailey of the City-County Taxpayers League offered no comment. Critics argued taxes would rise in the future amid ongoing tax hikes. Major Charles V. Main was unanimously elected president of the Jeanne Bussard Training Workshop board, with Mrs. Charles Glick as vice president, Wilbert K. Wiggs secretary, and Jacob R. Ramsburg treasurer. Thurmont commissioners accepted a 15 210 dollar bid for 61 acres of woodland on the Thurmont watershed from Smith Lumber Company, including 1 087 trees and 311 567 board feet, with 18 months to remove marked timber.
