Frederick prepares to forward to the State Roads Commission its claim for the $5,000 from the Frederick County incorporated town fund for street maintenance.

The fund must connect city streets with State roads, listing US routes 15, 240, 40 and 340 in Frederick, with other towns receiving $2,000 each due to an act error. Local projects include curb and gutter work on Franklin and Grove, resurfacing on Sherman and alley construction near Fairview and Magnolia.
