Magistrate Berkson urges charter change in city council election
Hagerstown Kiwanis Club members heard magistrate Jacob B. Berkson urge a charter change to allow citywide votes for all five council seats. He argued current provisions give council power over ordinances revenues and mayoral vacancies, while ward-only voting limits voters to one council candidate. He proposed referendum or ordinance routes to implement a citywide council election.

Mayor Proposes Bond Plan For Outside Water Lines
Mayor Herman L. Mills floated a plan to issue revenue bonds to build water lines outside city limits. The scheme would let the city sell water beyond its borders, with outside users paying a premium while the city retains normal rates for inside customers. He stressed the idea as a consideration, not an endorsement, citing potential self liquidating revenue and ongoing city borrowing capacity.
