Parking Lot Plans Backed by Frederick Leader
J Marshall Staub, Frederick businessman, seeks 60 days to begin a large parking lot behind the north side of East Fourth Street. Mayor Munshower endorses city cooperation, hoping others follow, with space for many cars and a parking attendant. The site will replace seven garages and a funeral director’s building, cleared for hard surfacing and lighting. An earlier accident on North Bentz Street involved a collision with a parked car, minor damage, no charges.

Washington reports that 1951 may see thousands of potato farmers exit the crop as the government ends price supports for spuds for the first time since 1943. With a 436 million bushel harvest far exceeding need, surplus purchases have kept prices up, but a market-adjustment and potential losses could push some regions to abandon production, raise acreage in others, and risk a volatile 1952 crop if prices collapse below costs.
