I have had complaints against the Frederick County Welfare Department
and think it would be in the best interest of the citizens of Frederick

What is the reason that we shouldn't have five members on the

this is permitted by state law.
On the Planning Commission, Sanitation Authority, Recreation Department
and the Board of Zoning Appeals,' we have one person or more from each district
to serve-on these committees.
We were selected to serve the people of Frederick County and I think
that if we don't put one person from each district on the Welfare Board,
that we are letting the people of Frederick County down.

would like to see the membership remain at three. He stated that he had had no serious
