Governor Harry Nice faces a flood of telegrams and letters against the planned dual highway between Hagerstown and Frederick. Roughly eighty telegrams, mainly from garage, service station, and local business owners along Baltimore and Frederick streets, urge abandonment. A Baltimore hearing Friday could decide whether to abandon the project, risking a $1,000,000 federal grant and $550,000 for trade crossing elimination in Hagerstown. No communications supporting the highway have reached the governor. A Beaver Creek group urged the project while other Frederick and Washington County residents did not respond.
