Frederick County Court Discusses State Aid for Juvenile Jail Quarters
The Frederick County Commissioners indicated plans to include funds in the 1946 budget to develop juvenile detention quarters at the county jail. They seek a conference with the Maryland Board of Public Works to discuss state participation in jail remodeling, noting the state may cover up to a quarter of approved costs. They expect input from State Engineer John B Funk and may consult the former senator. A large Optimist Club delegation urged segregation of juveniles, with Sheriff Guy Anders present. Temporary Montevue quarters exist but are seen as inadequate, and material shortages delay permanent changes. Funds earmarked for jail work were redirected to Montevue fire prevention after officials demanded the latter project. Federal guidance and potential matching funds were discussed if the jail meets federal specifications.
