1st ED. 47 THE HARTFORD COURANT: S.pi.mW 12, 1971 New London Auvvood Criticized on Fire Board Issue nv and show the Of lead-t Cashman Mayor ership necessary for a first se WATERFORD Democratic Selectman Jack R. Newman has accused Republican First Selectman candidate William Au-wcod of "using the town's volunteer fire companies for self- me ordinance and by selecting Oswegatchie Fire Chief Spencer Williams as his running mate for the Board of Selectmen." Only 100 Active There are an estimated 1,000 volunteer firemen in Waterford, but only 100 or so are active, fire companies have reported. Newman said Auwood had underestimated volunteers who truly have the best interest of the town at heart." Newman's position on the Board of Selectmen during the past four years has periodcally put him at odds with some volunteer firemen, especially during annual budget discussions with representatives of the five companies. Newman's running mate for the Board of Selectmen, and Davis' running mate for the same spot, are also members of I the RTM.

Newman's partner. ed for it. The measure survived because no action of the RTM can be reversed unless 25 per cent of the total electorate votes against it. Auwood declared that the result of the referendum clearly; indicated that the townspeople don't want the fire commission and he promised to ask the Oct. 4 session of the RTM to reconsider the action establishing the ordinance.

Newman said that Auwood is a member of the RTM and chairman of the Republican Town Committee. Newman staid. "Auwood a rank political opportunist. He and the Republican-dominated RTM voted to adopt the ordinance after a detailed study and recommendations bv two committees." 1 Newman said that his primary rival. Davis, also voted for the ordnance in his present role as a Democratic member of the RTM.

"I trust Davis will have the courage to resist a grand-stand lectman candidate," Newman said. I Newman advocates the firej commission. "We should give it! a try. A good deal of thinking) and hard work by dedicated men has gone into its creation. I also fully support the concept of having volunteer companies in Waterford for as long as we have volunteers to man them." Firemen who are opposed to the ordinance claim it is the first step in eliminating the volunteer system and establishing1 a fully paid municipal force.

Newman said he would be the first to ask that the ordinance be revoked "if the commission doesn't function as it ought to or 'if there is any move to professionalize the fire companies in any way." He added, "Auwood apparently believes he can finesse the volunteer firemen into voting for him by a reversed stand on 1 of efficiency tailored to the needs of the court and the judges rather than the needs of the people. He took the position that the state's linaneial condition obviously will not permit construction of the kind of facility Justice Cotter has recommended. He feels, said Cashman, the needs of the county car. best be served by renovating, and adding to, to the extent necessary, the present court facilities in New London and Norwich, i Justice Cotter, Cashman said, disregarded the facts of population density, convenience, accessibility and ultimate cost in sel'Ving the Preston site. "M'ire than anvono.

Mayor Martin is resoonsihle for the unhappy situation in which he finds his city." Cashman said. Said Martin, "I don't know what he's got on his mind." and by the City Council," Martin added. I "If the people of New London don't know' by now that I have been fighting for the court for this city for years, then there is nothing I can do about it." Martin said. According to Martin, he and Mary Hill, this city's other Democratic stale representative, both vot'xl for the Cotter bill when it cleared the House, and he then asked Cashman to support it in the Senate, "which Cashman did." In his letter to Meskill, Cash-man said the Cotter selection of Preston, ovc New London. Norwich, Montville and Groton, was met with dismay and consternation bv those in the southern port of the country.

Efficiency Concept' Cotter, he added, apparently based his decision on a concept Martin, he charged, is to blame for the predicament in which New London finds itself relative to the court complex site. The mayor, he said, supporled legislation that empowered Cotter to make a site selection and recommendation, lie was opposed lo this bill, said Cashman. for a variety of reasons, and it was only through the intercession of Martin that he supported it. "I don't know what he's talking about," said Martin. "This Cotter bill came out of the judiciary committee as a compromise measure because of the many area court oills that had been introduced.

'i supported this bill after being instructed to do so by the committee formed to work to 'bring the court to New London NEW LONDON State Sen. I Peter Cashman of Lyme has asked Gov. Meskill to reject Preston as the site for a proposed state court complex for New London County and at the same time blames New London Mayor Richard R. Martin for the by-passing of his city. And Martin Saturday said flatly he doesn't know what Cashman is talking about.

Cashman is a Republican in this 20th District, and Martin is also a Democratic state representative from New London. In a release Saturday, Cash-man revealed he sent a letter to the governor's office, asking him not only to reject Preston, which was recommended earlier by Supreme Court Justice John P. Cotter, but also to postpone any further action on this court matter for a year. serving political gain." Newman is also seeking nomi-natio as first selectman candidate in the Democratic party primary Sept. 22 against cau-i cus-endorsod Herbert Davis, choice of the town committee.

The allegation against Au-wood concerns the COP candidate's promise to try to kill an i a establishing the town's Honul Fire Commissioners. The ordinance was adopted at the April session of the Representative Town Meet-in1? and survived an Aug. 25 referendum. The pe'ition drive tc bring the issue to referendum was spearheaded by a group of volunteer firemen. Less than 25 per cent of the town's electorate Edward T.
