Speach claimed yesterday that the approximately $800,000 the city has spent, primarily for equipment rental and operators in the city's tree removal program since March, 1970, represents a saving of nearly $500,000 when compared to the previous administration's rate of expenditure. Speach claimed that from March, 1970, until Sept. 30, 'this year, more than 11,000 dead and diseased trees have been removed. This is five times the number of trees re The Liverpool Faculty Association's membership in the State Teachers Association was challenged at a teachers meeting last night but the teachers voted to remain affiliated with the state association.

Under the previous administration's 1969 contract with a private firm, and disregarding inflation, Speach said, the cost of removing 11,000 trees would have been $1,794,801. "Our cost for the same amount been $1,307,191, which obviously is a saving of $487,610," Speach stated.

Last night's meeting at Liverpool High School drew more than 300 of the Liverpool Faculty Association's approximately 650 teaches, reported Mrs.

Henry. The group's officers, headed by faculty association's president, Bruce Bidwell, a teacher at Liverpool Senior High School, recommended remaining within NYSTA. Major complaints on the part of teachers urging the stattf association were the cost of dues and lack of service. The dissidents were not urging that the Liverpool association join a competing group.

The paper noted that since December, 1970, the union had been ready for negotiations, but that 10 months of talk has been fruitless. Edward J.

Gusty, director of the County Office of Labor Relations, negotiated with union representatives yesterday and will continue today. Gusty said the contract With the teachers expired Aug. 31 and they have been working without one since then. He said there was an agreement to extend the contract until a new agreement is reached. He noted that the old contract was a two-year agreement.

The problem, Gustv said, is money. He said the nationwide wage and price freeze has "complicated matters."

Election Said Alexander Policy Test Next Tuesday's election is "a referendum on Mayor Alexander's policies," City Auditor MAR1IN S.AUER, Republican incumbent who. is seeking re-election, said last night at the Liberty Republican Club dinner Auer also is Republican county chairman. Voters have to decide, Auer said, ''wheather you agree with what Mayor Alexander has done or whether you disagree. If you agree, you vote for the Democratic candidates.

If you don't you vote for our Republican candidates for the It's as simple as that. That is what these council' races are all about," Democratic councilmen, pressured by Alexander, Auer said, have raised city property taxes by $11.66 per $1,000 of assessed valuation "in just two years." They ignored Republican proposals, Auer said, wiiich would have reduced the city tax rate last year and "by get this $20.05 pet thousand." Council Majority Leader P. MCCARTHY, a Democrat seeking re-election as 4th District councilman, last berated Republican council members who voted yesterday against p4ans for reorganization of the Fire Department. He claimed Republican councilmen "once again put their irresponsible political objectives ahead of the best: interests of the city. Somehow they have decided that they know more about the operation of the Fire Department and fighting fires than the fire chief knows." He called their action "politics at this worst." MRS.

McCarthy, her Democratic opponent, as "a mere political puppet ot Mayor Alexander." McCarthy, she said, is Mayor Alexander's "chief yes man." She said McCarthy switched his vote on off track betting, finally voting for it "as the mayor obviously wanted."

The mayor's blast came just a week before elections as the Democrats are striving to keep control of the Common Council. His attack came on the heels of newspaper editorials supporting Republican candidates for council posts in the election. The mayor claimed the editorials he criticized were inaccurate and distorted. For example, he said, one editorial opposed off-track betting and called for defeat of a councilman who sponsored an off-track betting measure. Yet, the mayor said, newspapers regularly publish racing news.

Another editorial, the mayor stated, criticized the 1972 1 tax increase for city schools. The newspapers, he claimed, were for the schools but against the money to build them. He claimed the newspapers "share a major responsibility for that school tax increase," because, he contended, they were influential in forcing state budget cuts. Another editorial, Alexander declared, accused the city public works commissioner of i threatening to arrest people if they raked leaves into the street. The mayor said this was ridiculous.

It resulted, he said, from a notice sent out by the commissioner, one similar to those sent out every year for years, asking people not to rake leaves into the streets, as was prohibited many yt cs ago, the mayor said.
