The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland (2024)

SUN, Thursday, April 19, Jackson to in state next By Robert Benjamin With less than three weeks remaining before the May 8 Maryland primary election, the presidential campaign of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson will make its first major swing through the state Tuesday and Wednesday, his state campaign office announced yesterday. During the two days, 10 stops are scheduled for Mr. Jackson in Annapolis, Fort Washington, College Park, Landover and Baltimore, including one in which he will spend Tuesday night at the home of a senior citizen in Baltimore.

The name of the senior citizen was not yet available, said Bennie L. Thayer, chairman of Mr. Jackson's Maryland campaign. According to his Maryland campaign office, Mr. Jackson's schedule for Tuesday is as follows: a.m., prayer breakfast at the First Baptist Church, 31 West Washington street, Annapolis.

11 a.m., rally at the Ebenezer AME Church, 7806 Allentown road, Fort Washington, in Prince Georges county. Noon to 3 p.m., statewide rally at Cole Field House at the University of Maryland in College Park. About 2 p.m., "VIP" reception at the University of Maryland. Busway plan 1984 campaign week 3:30 p.m., rally at the First Baptist Church of Highland Park, 6801 Sheriff road, Landover. After this, Mr.

Jackson will attend two events in the District of Columbia, where a primary election will be held May 1, before resuming his Maryland campaign in Baltimore. 7 p.m., rally at the Faith Baptist Church, 833 North Bond street, Baltimore. p.m., rally at the New Shiloh Baptist Church, 823 West Lanvale street, Baltimore. p.m., fund-raiser at the Shake and Bake Family Fun Center, 1601 Pennsylvania avenue, Baltimore. 1 A $10 donation is requested at this event.

After spending the night at the senior citizen's home, Mr. Jackson will attend a prayer breakfast 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Heritage United Church of Christ, 3106 Liberty Heights avenue. He then is likely to depart for Ohio, where a primary will be held the same day as Maryland's, Mr. Thayer said.

Mr. Thayer said Mr. Jackson is expected to return to Baltimore to campaign May 1. A major fund-raiser for Mr. Jackson is planned later that day at the Turf Valley Country Club on U.S.

40 West, Ellicott City, in Howard county. is jeered by Woodberry residents By David Michael Ettlin About 30 persons attended a community meeting in Hampden last night to hear and jeer plans for the proposed $100 million busway that would carry Mass Transit Administration commuters along a twolane road running parallel to the Jones Falls expressway. At least half of the group came from homes in Woodberry a community just west of the Jones Falls expressway, where the busway apparently would have the greatest impact on people. So it was not surprising that Harry J. McCullough, chief of the Interstate Division for Baltimore city, knew several of the people by name and had heard their concerns before concerns that include the proposed busway's only intersection with normal traffic at Union avenue.

Mr. McCullough could provide no immediate answer to questions about the safety of children who would have to cross the busway on their way to Robert Poole Middle School, located in Hampden east of the expressway, or what effect the busway might have on water run-off in the Jones Falls flood plain. But he said that with the agreement of state, city and Baltimore county officials to build the busway already firm, the only thing that could prevent its construction would be "if we haven't lived up to the letter of the law" in planning the concrete ribbon along a 66-foot-wide Conrail right of way. Mr. McCullough and several Interstate Division and Mass Transit Administration officials fielded questions from area residents, whose tone appeared to grow in anger as the hour-and-a-half meeting proceeded.

Aside from safety, the main concern was effects on water flow in the flood plain, which has been hard hit by two major storms in the past 10 years. Several busway opponents insisted the busway would only worsen the problem. Robert Poloway, who said he owns 17 acres in the valley part used by his Bilt-in Wood Products company and part leased to other companies declared, "They got so much money to away, let 'em buy our properties and do what they want." He later stormed out of the meeting. As outlined by the officials, the busway would begin in the Bare Hills community north of the city line, where a "master" parking lot for commuters would be located, and have stations along the way in Mount Washington, Coldspring and Hampden-Woodberry before ending on the edge of downtown at Lafayette and Lanvale streets north of Pennsylvania Station. Still to be decided, Mr.

McCullough said, is whether there will be parking lots or "kiss-and-ride" facilities where passengers could be dropped off by spouses to catch a bus to work, and whether the busway would deviate at all from the railroad right-of-way. The highway and transit officials said the busway is needed because of the revitalization of downtown Baltimore and an increasing number of people heading there as facilities for parking automobiles become scarcer and much more expensive. Hughes purchase of townhouse in Del. irks Ocean City's mayor BETHANY BEACH, Del. (AP) Residents of this quiet Delaware resort are going to have a new neighbor, a fact of life that doesn't sit well with some Marylanders.

Maryland Governor Harry Hughes has bought a townhouse in the Bethany Pines development that is now under construction. The cost of the home was not disclosed. "He's just a real nice guy that wanted a little getaway place at the beach," said Edna Taylor, the real estate agent who sold the home to Governor Hughes and his wife, Pat. Ms. Taylor said the home would be for vacations only at first but could become a permanent residence later.

Governor Hughes is in his second term and will leave office in 1987. The governor's new home is only 5 miles north of Maryland's premier resort Ocean City and officials there are not happy with his decision to vacation out of state. "He's the first governor that I can recall that hasn't been an avid fan of Ocean City," said Mayor Harry W. Kelley, who challenged Governor Hughes in the 1982 elections. "All of the governors that I can recall, every one of them, loved Ocean City and did all they could for it You know, Agnew still comes here," Mayor Kelley said, referring to former Vice President and Governor Spiro T.

Agnew. can't make him like us," Mr. Kelley said, adding, "I imagine Marylanders will have something to say about it." "I think it's a shame that he doesn't think enough of his state," said Ocean City Councilman Leighton Moore. "Maybe he likes the privacy and seclusion. I wish he'd come down here and stay with us for a while.

I think we have a better deal for him." Firms ask to tap methane gas at closed landfill in Arundel By Michael C. Clark Anne Arundel Bureau of The Sun Anne Arundel county is studying a series of proposals from firms wanting to tap the commercial value of the methane gas locked in the Glen Burnie landfill, which closed last August. Parker Andrews, chief of the county's Solid Waste Bureau, said he is evaluating requests from three companies that have expressed an interest in extracting methane gas from the closed landfill. The county probably will make a decision on the proposals this fall, said Mr. Andrews, who added that tests would first have to be conducted to determine the extent of the meth- OBITUARIES George A.

Arnold M. Jolivet, head of the minority contractors' group, asked the board to defer its approval for a week to consider making the garage a separate project. But M. Jay Brodie, coordinator of center city development and planning, said the complex could not be easily divided.

Because the water table at the site across from the harbor is high, the garage will have to serve as a sort of anchor to keep the building from floating up. For that reason, Mr. Brodie said, it is imperative that work on the garage and the rest of the complex be closely coordinated. That would best be achieved if a single general contractor is used to build the entire complex, he said. Mr.

Jolivet objected to that position, but Francis Kuchta, director of Public Works who sits on the board, disagreed, saying, "If you have two contractors on that site, you'll end up with the Tower of The board voted unanimously to approve the agreement without separating the garage. later, in another case, the minori- year that his occupation had its hazards.

Bechtel Constructors Corporation submitted the lowest bid of 10 firms seeking a contract to construct a sewage treatment system at the Back River Waste Water treatment plant. Most of the funds for the system will come from the Environmental Protection Agency. Bechtel's bid was about $2.5 million and was recommended by the city to receive the award. However, the second-lowest bidder, H. A.

Harris Company, protested, arguing that Bechtel's 1 bid provided for only 15 percent minority contractor participation instead of the 25 percent required under the federal guidelines. Harris's bid of $3.18 million was still below city engineers' $4 million project estimate. Bechtel argued that it didn't meet the requirement because bids from several minority subcontractors were too high or the companies were nonunion. The Harris company, which is white-owned, countered that Bechtel didn't make enough of an effort to find minority firms. The board then voted to award the contract to H.

Andrews said. Under present plans, a private venture would pay the costs for the equipment, wells and distribution pipes to collect the colorless, odorless and flammable gas, which is produced by the decaying garbage under the landfill's soil, Mr. Andrews said.
