Work Cut Out For Municipal League

Kevin E. Dayhoff

http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4723

This week officials from Maryland cities and towns throughout the state converged on the Cambridge Hyatt Chesapeake Bay conference facilities for the three-day Maryland Municipal League’s fall legislative conference.

The Maryland Municipal League, (MML) was founded in 1936 by Annapolis Mayor Louis N. Phelps in an effort for Maryland municipalities to obtain funds available to local governments from the Work Progress Administration (WPA) under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal.

The organization is run by local officials from the 157 cities and towns from across the state. It works as an advocate for those municipalities.

In recent years, much of the advocacy of the MML has centered on maintaining, and indeed, restoring municipal state-shared revenues that have been taken away by the Maryland General Assembly in order to balance the beleaguered state budget.

Last weekend’s rare October winter weather may not be the only “deep freeze” that descended on the state as national, state and local elected officials attempt to fathom the political consequences of the prolonged economic downtown, increased rules, regulations and unfunded federal and state mandates being placed on local governments...

Haunted Eastern Shore: Ghostly Tales

Shoal Creek Manor- Cambridge, Dorchester County http://www.writingthevision.com/hauntedeasternshore/shoalcreekmanor.htm

Today, there is nothing left of Shoal Creek Manor, the home or John Woolford and Gov. Charles Goldsborough. This plantation house was built around 1750 and once stood on nearly 400 acres in East Cambridge. Originally it was part of the Choptank Indian lands, and was purchased from the Indians by the Ennalls family. Many tales are associated with Shoal Creek Manor – tales that are still told today even though the building was razed in 1970 to make way for a new waste-water treatment plant.

The folklore collection at the Nabb Center in Salisbury University had the following transcripts of tales told by locals about Shoal Creek Manor.
