[3] Miller co-owned land outside Ellicott City with Benjamin Mellor, an insurance broker to the school board from the firm Herrman and Car.
[6] At Ellicott City High, 12 additional acres were purchased from Dorothy Marie Gaither for $5,000 with Miller contributing $2,500 for the land and demolition of the "colored house and corn crib" on the property.
[7] In 1956, Miller donated land on Chatham Road to relocate the First Evangelical Lutheran Church from its 1874 structure, which was sold to be converted to a private residence.
[11] The legislation created during the political battle over parkland and land-use shaped the creation of the current Howard County Department of Parks & Recreation.
[13] The effort to raze the historic 1813 farmhouse "Gray Rock"[14] and slave quarters of Thomas Beale Dorsey and subdivide the land did not get approval.
[17] In 1977 Miller offered to donate $3 million to the Lutheran hospital with income generated from the approval to build a 325-unit subdivision on the remainder of his Gray Rock land.
[24] In 1966, Miller lost his bid for council, but was reappointed in November to fill the seat of David W. Force, who died of a brain tumor after winning the election.
[27] In 1973, Concilman Edward L. Cochran queried executive Omar J. Jones and Miller for appointing Robert Wieder as county solicitor.

[36] In 1965 Miller was one of three county commissioners that approved the zoning exceptions proposed by Howard Research and Development in 1965 to create the planned community of Columbia, Maryland.
[37][38] In 1974, Miller claimed he was solicited by James Rouse and Micheal D Spear to increase the density of Columbia zoning because of economic problems the project was facing.
In 1972, he ended an eight-year service contract selling gas to Howard County's animal control vehicle fleet and driver's education cars.
