The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 35

3 DS. 9. of of of of of of of of 7 5 SUN, Tuesday, June 5, 1984 OBITUARIES Deaths Deaths Deaths Norman Rukert, port historian, dies Norman G. Rukert, the maritime businessman whose affection for the old stories of Baltimore's waterfront led him to write five books about the area's history, died Sunday at his Towson home after a long illness. He was 68.

A memorial service for Mr. Rukert will be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1609 Kurtz avenue in Lutherville. Born in Baltimore, Mr.

Rukert graduated from City College in 1931 when he was 15. His 51-year career as a waterfront businessman began that summer, when he went to work for his father, W. G. Norman (Cap) Rukert, as a pier laborer at the family's stevedoring and warehousing operation at Brown's Wharf a at the foot of Broadway in Fells Point. In 1947, the Rukert Terminal ole Corporation moved to its current location in the 2000 block South Clinton street, directly across the Northwest Harbor from Fort McHenry.

In 1961, Mr. Rukert became president of the family company. Mr. Rukert had long had an interest in historical data and restoration, but it was not until his father's death in 1974 that he decided to act on that interest through writing. In 1976, when his first book, "The Fells Point Story," was published, Mr.

Rukert recalled how he would urge his father to record his reminiscences of the old days along the waterfront. Cap Rukert never did record his tales, however, and Mr. Rukert said he realized that "the Fells Point story hadn't ever been told. I guess I decided I'd be the man to tell it." The same year "The Fells Point Story" was published, Mr. Rukert renovated one of the warehouses at Brown's Wharf and turned it into a private maritime museum.

For this achievement, he received the Mayor's Award in 1977 and the Baltimore Heritage Award in 1979. He restored a second building in Fells Point, an authentic late Eighteenth Century merchant's home, with the first floor serving as an exhibit hall and reception center for the Brown's Wharf maritime museum. When Mr. Rukert began recording the history of Baltimore's waterfront, he found that the stories "just kept pouring out. That's how it all started." So in 1978, two years after his first book was published, Mr.

Rukert found himself with a second published book: "Historic Canton." By 1983 Mr. Rukert had written three more books about Baltimore's history: "Federal Hill," "'The Port, Pride of Baltimore" and "Fort McHenry, Home of the Brave." Mr. Rukert was named 1976 Man of the Year" by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and he also received a Congressional Certificate of Merit. In 1977, he received the Maritime Square Club's Bell Award for outstanding contributions to the maritime industry. In 1979, he received the first William Fell Public Service Award for leadership in port-related industry and exemplary public service.

In February, 1983, he was named "Man of the Year" by the Traffic Club of Baltimore for outstanding contributions to the transportation industry. Mr. Rukert received an honorary degree as doctor of humane letters from the University of Baltimore in 1980. He was also a member of the board of trustees of Notre Dame School. An avid golfer, Mr.

Rukert was a member of the Baltimore Country Club and the Bear's Paw Club in Naples, as well as The Center Club and the Traffic Club. He was also a Mason and a member of the Palestine Lodge, Scottish Rite and Boumi Temple. Dr. Bela Halpert, retired pathologist -Dr. Bela Halpert, a retired pathologist who began his teaching career in America at the Johns Hopkins University medical school, died yesterday at Broadmead after a long illness.

Dr. Halpert, who was 87 and moved to Broadmead four years ago from Silver Spring, retired in 1968 as a Veterans Administration pathologist at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, where he had worked for two years. In 1966, he was named professor emeritus of pathology at the Baylor University Medical School in Houston, where he had taught since 1949. During that same period, he served as the pathologist at a Veterans Administration hospital in Houston. From 1942 until 1949, he served as director of laboratories at the University of Oklahoma Hospitals in Oklahoma City.

For five years before that, he taught at Louisiana State University and served as pathologist at the Charity Hospital in New Or- Budget calls for tax rise BUDGET, from D1 on operational costs. The fire fighters at those companies will be reassigned to other active companies. The Police Department will leave 66 vacant positions unfilled and has scheduled no classes for recruits at the police academy for the year. There will be no layoffs of teachers or aides in the Department of Education which is receiving an extra $17.3 million in special state aid but about 25 clerical and other employees will be laid off there. o.The operating portion of the budget is $1.1 billion, an increase of $10.7 million, or 1 percent more than the fiscal 1984 operating budget.

The capital portion for major projects and physical improvements is $229.4 million, about $91.7 million above last year's capital budget. h. Several capital improvement projects originally proposed for fiscal 1985 were cut and deferred until money becomes available while others had their funding reduced. Funding was reduced for projects involving the planting of trees along streets and the addition of a visitors service center at the National Aquarium. Cut from the budget were projects to renovate facilities at City Hall, Memorial Stadium, the Municipal Building and the Baltimore Convention Center, and the design of a new addition to the Aquarium.

Mayor Schaefer took time at yesterday's Board of Estimates meeting to blame much of the city's budget problem on the legislature. "The governor helped us, and I appreciate that," the mayor began. But "you have certain senators down in Annapolis who are just bent on hurting the city of Baltimore." Among the losses the city suffered, the mayor said, was $1.2 million in state aid to the city's police department. The city also lost a bid to shift some of the costs of emergency ambulance service to the state. And the legislature refused to change its mind on the proceeds from the Lotto game.

In the next year, the profits will go into the state's general fund instead of being returned to the local governments as they were this year. "That's a $4 million loss that we will not get back," Mr. Schaefer said. mayor never considered a substantial tax increase," said Harold R. Tall, the deputy finance director.

"The mayor was opposed and remains opposed to going above $6." City Councilman John A. Schaefer, who heads the Council's Budget Committee, called the tax boost "a very nominal increase." But other Council members sounded less accepting. Councilman Timothy D. Murphy (D, 6th), who heads the Council's Taxation and Finance Committee, said he does not favor any tax increase, "including a one-penny may call at the Schimunek Funeral Home, 3331 Brehms lane (at Mannasota and Erdman avenues) on Tuesday from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 P.M.

He added that the revenue that increase would bring in about $480,000 "doesn't begin to solve the problems that were discussed during the Board of Estimates hearings." He said that instead of raising taxes, he would prefer the Council find a way to "reorder and redirect" some of the spending within agencies. But he conceded, "I think the Council's going to be hard pressed to do much to this thing." Councilman Kweisi Mfume (D, 4th) said he was "extremely disturbed" to hear that bulk trash pickup had been cut out of the budget.

Councilman Murphy expressed similar sentiments, saying the elimination of the service would prompt residents to dump their bulk trash in vacant lots. Councilman Michael B. Mitchell (D, 4th) said he found it "rather strange" that the police budget was being cut for the first time in years when "we are on the threshold of getting our first black police commissioner." Deputy Commissioner Bishop Robinson, who is black, is considered the likely successor or to Commissioner Frank Battaglia, who will resign at the end of the month. Councilman Mitchell said the reduction in the police force may be "setting the man up for failure before he even Concerning the budgets of the fire and police departments, Mr. Tall said, "In previous years, we were able to hold them harmless.

This year, they had to take their cuts like everyone else." "It won't be as bad as it looks," said Mr. Battaglia, adding, "It won't affect the service that we've rendered. We're just grateful that we didn't get any "It shouldn't affect fire protection that much," said Capt. Patrick Flynn, a fire department spokesman. "We could take care of a large emergency, but if we had to take two major multiple-alarm fires at the same time we might have to call some people from offduty.

But it wouldn't take that long," he said. Captain Flynn said Fire Chief Peter O'Connor won't decide which companies to close until after the City Council finishes with the budget. Mr. Tall said there would be about 59 employee layoffs in the Public Works Department, 13 in the Health Department, two in the Department of Finance, and 26 in all other agencies. However, Mr.

Gallagher, the budget director, said the actual number of layoffs could fluctuate with retirements and other attrition. Public Works Director Francis Kuchta said he hoped to get layoffs in his department down to 22. Some of those employees would come out of the bulk trash division. "To fund residential garbage pickup twice a week we had to eliminate bulk trash pickup," Mr. Kuchta said.

He added, "We're hoping to pick up some with street cleaning crews on an as needed basis, but not on a regular basis.
