Harford County Seen Paying $75,442 For Useless Line Consultant Says Metro Failed To Detect Plan's Flaws (Continued from Page A-1) "This gets the engineer off the hook" because Metro has the final say and relieves the engineer of responsibility. Dr. Eny said that Metro had an inspector on the job and since the line was being placed in an extremely wet area, the back fill should probably have been of some other material than what was taken from the trench. He noted a that $428 had been paid for some new backfill material.
He also said the contractor had made corrections during construction, which Metro had a asked be done. Dr. Eny said the line was to be guaranteed for nine months after completion, a time limit which has long since passed and that, by Metro paying up to 90 percent on the contract, it means it accepted the work. Mr. Heaps said "Apparently there is some weakness in our contract" and Dr.
Eny said "the specs gave no indication of what kind of soil was present" and in this case the soil on the job was "critical." County Commissioner president Charles Anderson was present and asked "As a taxpayer, who is going to accept the responsibility for this?" This is the same question he asked last week when, by a 3-2 vote, the County Commissioners voted to pay same contractor in full for the unsatisfactory Edgewood Recreational Complex which Mr. Eastburn admitted was "a lousy job." Dr. Eny said Metro now must determine which is cheaper to do--repair the present sewer line or abandon it and replace it with a new line. Director of Public Works Robert Hajzyk said the line had never passed an infiltration test. One member of the Metro Commission said Monday it has been decided to try to reach some kind of a settlement with the contractor rather than file suit in court, Complaints Made About Mobile Homes County Commissioner A.
Henderson said Monday "the people of the Fourth District are in an uproar" over the placing of six trailers on the east side of Rt. 152 and the south side of Charles street by Donald Thomas, Jr. although the Board of Zoning Appeals denied this request in February. Mr. Henderson said "People want to know what kind of laws we have." and that "people are complaining to me and it seems they have a right to complain." Among those objecting to the trailers is Edward C.
who asked specific written questions of J. Lee Hanlon, executive secretary of the Planning and Zoning department. Mr. Hanlon said his department has issued "No order for the removal of the trailers" and that "a violation is presently pending before the People's Court on the matter of two trailers located without an application being filed." County Commissioner president Charles Anderson told his fellow Commissioners We should stay in contact with this" and it will be discussed with Mr. Hanlon when he returns from a convention in New Orleans, La.
STELLA MARIE FALLON Stella Marie Fallon, wife of Joseph E. Fallon, of 143 Bloomsbury Havre de Grace, died on Friday, March 26, at Harford Memorial Hospital. She was the daughter of the late Henry and Sarah Evans Price. In addition to her husband, she is survived by four daughters, Mrs. John S.

Pennington and Son Funeral Home in Havre de Grace, had charge of the arrangements, 'Paddlings' May Be Legalized In Schools Harford county was among several Maryland subdivisions to be amended to a bill permitting corporal punishment to unruly pupils, a measure that passed in the Maryland Legislature last week. Although Governor Marvin Mandel said he thinks "there are better ways to handle unruly pupils, such as suspension and required parents' hearings," he did not say whether he would veto the measure when it reaches his desk.
The bill, introduced after the State Department of Education had ruled against "Paddlings" by school authorities, was originally designed for nine Eastern Shore counties, but several others were amended to it. TAC To Aid In Selection Of Site On Monday the County Commissioners and Director of Public Works Robert Hajzyk could not agree on what to do about the location for a utility building in the First District to house Metropolitan Commission and Parks and Recreation activities, so the problem was sent to the Technical Advisory Committee for a recommendation, Mr. Hajzyk said he did not recommend the purchase of the former A Motors garage located on Rt. 40 near Edgewood. He said the garage, rumored for sale for $80,000, is located in a 55 m.p.h.
speed zone and that it needs considerable renovation to be suitable for County use. He said that the Planning and Zoning Commission has said the Abingdon landfill is the "proper site" for the utility building and that the County should not purchase a valuable business property and take it off the tax rolls, Two years ago the Commissioners asked for bids on a 40x120 foot building with the low bid being $65,000, which was rejected when they rented a building on Victory lane in Bel Air. Commissioner president Charles Anderson said the First District building "is definitely needed" but that there are cheaper metal buildings on the market than the one planned and bid upon in 1968. Commissioner Fred Baldwin termed the Edgewood garage as "ideal" for the county's needs and this is when it was decided to let TAC make a recommendation for a site. Gov't.
Worker Says Bridge Isn't Needed At least one Edgewood Arsenal employee, James A. Thomas of Bel Air, is opposed to relocating Rt. 24 and building an expensive bridge over the Penn Central Railroad to provide a new enad trance into the military facility. Mr. Thomas told the County Commissioners he had read where thirty-three Edgewood Arsenal employees want the State Roads Commission to construct the new highway.
Mr. Thomas said he is opposed to spending the money because the present road is adequate and he could remember only two times in the past ten years when the present underpass at the Penn Central Railroad was "out of commission." He said the present road is safe. The Commissioners have objected to spending a large part of SRC funds available for an expensive road and bridge for the benefit of a limited number of countians, who work at the arsenal. Aberdeen Board Opposes City Plan The Aberdeen Commissioners went on record Monday evening as being unanimously opposed to any plan Harford county may have to join the Greater Baltimore Sanitary District. The discussion was prompted by Commissioner William Cooper, who said he had read in a Baltimore newspaper that Harford county may join the district.
County Commissioner president Charles Anderson later noted that he had been misquoted in the article, saying that Harford county had not been asked to join the district, but invited to observe it. He said no County funds were involved and the Commissioners had recommended that their attorney, Robert H. Archer, study the matter. The Aberdeen Commissioners instructed Town Manager, Peter Nelson, to draft a letter to the County Commissioners, informing them of their feelings on the subject, Harford County Retarded Ctr. Plans Put Off Indefinitely Board Cites Cost, Says Decision Won't Curtail Programs (Continued from Page A-1) would result in the County's share of the construction costs being $691,886, or $407,775 in excess of the amount originally budgeted for this project.
"In view of extensive demands upon the financial resources of County, the Commissioners that they should not go forward with this project at this time on the basis of the bids submitted. The decision of the Commissioners not to proceed with this construction does not reflect any diminishing of interin the problems of the retarded or their intention to provide both facilities and programs that are needed, and justifiable, this area of public service, Harford county is currently in the forefront of the political subdivisions in the state in recognizing an obligation to retarded persons, and is now providing financial assistance to a day care center accommodating more than persons and to a workshop designed to constructively occupy and utilize those talents of the retarded. view of recently changed circ*mstances and the revised judgments of professional people, both the state and county level, with respect to facilities and programs needed for the retarded, a restudy of the type and location of buildings that are needed is clearly in order. Since the commencement of planning for this proposed building, the County has purchased the former Methodist Church property in Bel Air, and the buildings converted, with both public: and private funds, for a day care center that has been approved by the State Department of Health for 120 persons. This facility appears adeby present required Health Standards, In view of the fact that the Department of Health officials recommending that day care be limited to 75 persons that expansion in the county should be in the nature of additional units located in other sections of the county, a newfacility in the Bel Air area would only replace the existing one and add any additional space expansion.
"The proposed limited residential carefacilities were originally conceived as providing commodations for brief periods of time, necessitated by family conditions and for interim custodial care awaiting placement permanent facility for the mentally retarded. Crowded conditions at Rosewood recently sulted in the institution being temporarily closed to further commitments from the counties and recent statements from officials of the Department of Health would indicate that consideration is being given to decentralizing that institution's population accommodating a greater number of retarded persons in the local subdivisions. Such a policy would place a greater burden on County for providing residential and custodial care, which already been given considerable study and impetus in Harford county among persons concerned for the retarded persons. "It should also be pointed that the bids received are sumed to have complied with Federal regulation, existing at the time the bids were made, that the wages to be paid by the successful bidder were the prevailing union wages. Since the bids have been received, however, an act of Congress would permit bidding on projects, with participating Federal funds, on the basis of wages prevailing in the area, This requirement may have accounted for some of the excess in bids over original estimates and could mean that the rebidding of present plans would result in a lower bid, "For the above reasons, and in view of the fact that none of the County's programs for the retarded are in any way adversely affected, it is the considered judgment of the Commissioners that the County should not go forward at this time with the construction of the proposed new facility." Motorcycle Hits Fence, Man Hurt A 30-year-old Bel Air man was injured Sunday when he lost control of the motorcycle he was riding and it plowed into a fence on Tollgate road near Bel Air.
