County Board Probes Dog Warden and Approves School Transfers
The Frederick County Board of Supervisors questioned Dog Warden Harold Whitacre on monthly dog pickups and duties. They scheduled a special meeting to review the reporting system and stray dog disposition. Three School Board budget transfer requests were approved including a $700,000 line for James Wood High School renovation and a $117,000 boost for special education funded by federal reimbursements. Rezoning requests involving Leon R. Fleisher, William Doliante, and other parcels were sent back for hearings, with several zoning amendments approved to clarify single family and mobile home definitions. A moratorium on rezoning until a new land use plan is adopted was proposed by Dino Morgoglioni, with follow-up planned at joint meetings.

Front Royal and Warren County reported a combined construction cost of 7.264 million in 1975, down 24 percent from 9.710 million in 1974, with reductions partly due to inflated 1974 figures from Criser Heights and FMC projects. Permit counts fell 14 percent to 479, revenues dropped 23 percent to 16,938, and inspections rose 17 percent to 1311 amid tighter FHA lending and more home additions.
