Aldermen Split Over Carroll Creek Wall Vote in 1943
A 50 year old Frederick action shows Alderman Russell H. McCain proposing rescinding a wall project along Carroll Creek near Stonewall Jackson Bridge. Four aldermen stayed mute as $684.90 was approved to raise the wall two feet. Citizens split on the expenditure while Seeger and Delphey backed the height to protect their properties. Mayor Gittinger noted the smokestack sale at the electric light plant drew only $15. Sheriff’s office orders followed after the arrest escapee George Wilson Blake was hospitalized for infection, with nurses preferring his return to jail.
