The Montgomery County Story Vol. 50, No. 1 Winter 2007 Montgomery County Story In our 50th Year of Publication Topical Sununaries and Index The first Montgomery County Story was published in November 1957, and for the next fifteen years Martha Sprigg Poole served as Editor of the Montgomery County Historical Society'S quarterly. Miss Poole, a Washington, D.C. native, was active in the Historical Society's early days. She held Bachelor's and Master's degrees in history from George Washington University, and retired from McKinley Technical High School in 1951 after 24 years ofteaching in the District of Columbia public schools. After Miss Poole's death at age 82, in 1972, Mayvis Fitzsimons served as Editor until 1975. She made the switch from Roman to Arabic numbers for Story volumes, and placed a greater focus on historical research. Her tenure was cut short by a tragic automobile accident, at the age of 52. The third Editor, Mary Charlotte Crook (1975-1989), and fourth Editor, Eleanor M. V. Cook (1989-2003), both had long tenures before their respective retirements. Each had previously contributed to the Story, as well as volunteering in the Society Library. Through the years, many Library volunteers have been contributing writers. Another volunteer, Diane Broadhurst, took Martha Sprigg Poole, over as Editor in 2003. The current Story, a summary of past issues, Editor 1957-1972 was compiled by Library volunteers. The role of Story Editor often exceeds that of simply preparing authors' manuscripts. Editors also have to locate and recruit interested authors, and keep them on schedule. They act as liaisons between MCHS staff and the printer, and help with distribution. As the frequency of the Editors' names in the author index attests, they often write the Stories themselves. This project, celebrating the so" year of the Montgomery County Story, provides a brief summary of the main topics of each issue, followed by author, name and topical indices for those doing research on Montgomery County history and the county's residents. 146 Issues of the Montgomery County Story, 1957-2006, with topical summaries 1-1 November 1957: "The Battle of the Monocacy," by AI bert A.

Paper 27. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/27 “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 by Monica C. Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers.

    Water Resources Overview The goals of the Water Resources Chapter are listed below: - Protect the water supply from pollution and encroachment of developments. - Provide an adequate and safe drinking water supply to serve the existing and future residents of the City of Frederick. - Provide an adequate capacity of wastewater treatment with effluent meeting all necessary regulatory requirements for existing and future residents of the City. - Restore and protect water quality and contribute toward meeting the water qualityby striving to meet or exceed regulatory requirements. for water quality. This will require addressinginclude current water quality impacts as well as future impacts from land development and population growth. - Develop adequate stormwater management. - Protect the habitat value of the local and regional rivers and streams. - Efficiently use public dollars for infrastructure that ensures sustainable, safe, and adequate supply of water for all residents. The City is committed to ensuring water and wastewater (sewer) capacity for both existing and new developments andwhile minimizing the negative impacts of stormwater runoff. In 2002, the City established the Water and Sewer Allocation System to make certain that adequate treatment capacity for potable water and wastewater is in place for new growth prior to approval. In 2012, Ordinance G-12-13 was adopted which updated the allocation process and combined it with it the Impact Fees payable for water and sewer service. The City adopted an Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance (APFO) in 2007 that allows development to proceed only after it has been demonstrated that sufficient infrastructure exists or will be created in the water and wastewater systems.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management.
