Action Requested on War History Compilation by Winchester Council
June meeting of the Winchester Common Council debated a proposal to commission a historian to compile and write a World War contribution by local citizens. A committee was formed to seek cooperation with Frederick County supervisors, while other items covered water softening, street and tax matters, and traffic congestion on Main Street. The session saw ordinances on railroad sidings, Sunday selling laws, jitney fares, and sidewalk improvements discussed without final action.
