Morning Sentinel, Monday, January 21, 1985 Continued from Page 1 on record at the time CMP was touting the necessity of a Sears Island nuclear plant and before it increased i its share of Seabrook from 2.5 to 6 percent. Conservation, reduced demand in the face of price hikes, cogeneration and alternative energy sources were "Something that CMP discounted or ignored in their quest for more and more load growth," Dawbin said. "Their incentive was to build power plants because they get a rate of return on investment" once a plant comes on-line. Since the planned increases in the "rate base" of generating plants was accompanied by requests for higher rates of return, "The incentive was not only spend ur to build the most capital intensive plants that you could, and those are nuclear plants. Dawbin suggested a new regulatory scheme to reward utilities rewards for conservation investments and otherwise saving money would benefit ratepayers while changing the utilities' incentives to build up their rate base.

"I don't know if there was any element of duplicity" in CMP's demand forecasting, Dawbin said, or whether it simply reflected incentives and an institutional mind-set Continued from Page 1 Committee at 1:30 p.m. in Room 334 of the State House.

Continued from Page 1 many wonderful memories of thousands of our fellow citizens coming Washington this weekend to join us as we continue our work to make America great again," Reagan said. The Rotunda ceremony was being restricted to a few hundred people, and practically, none of the 140,000 ticket holders who had planned to watch the outdoor proceedings will be allowed entry, Lake said.

It isn't the oath that made Reagan the president; the Constitution dictates that the president's term ends at noon on Jan. 20, when his successor's begins. Thus, Reagan's second term would have begun Sunday even if he had postponed his oath to await the public ceremony on Monday. At Republican parties held in Washington hotels Sunday night, many GOP stalwarts seemed more relieved than disappointed. Larry Laws, of Rockville, told a reporter: "William Henry Harrison died 18 days after he was inaugurated and the temperature on inauguration day was 14 degrees above zero." (It was actually about a month later.) Laws added, "Mr.

Reagan is probably hearty enough to take this cold but I don't think the rest of us are." Organizers hastened to invite the thousands of parade participants from across the country to gather in the suburban Capital Centre coliseum for a public thank-you from the president they came to honor. The White House had considered making Sunday's oath-taking a private affair, as Dwight Eisenhower's was in 1957, the last time Inauguration Day fell on a Sunday. But it was decided early last week to admit three reporters, three news photographers and two television camera crews whose pictures were carried live by the four major television networks. The guest list was put at by White House spokeswoman Sheila Tate, who counted Reagan's 20- month-old granddaughter Ashley as the half. A babysitter standing in the huge Cross Hall adjoining the hall where the ceremony took place held Ashley in arms while the little girl sucked on a bottle.

Ashley's 6-year-old brother Cameron, son of the president's adopted son Michael, was the youngest guest present, after getting last-minute instructions and a kiss on the head from his father before they walked in to take their seats. Michael Deaver, a longtime Reagan aide and confidant who planned the four days of inaugural festivities before coming down with the flu, left his sickbed to attend the ceremony. There were three empty seats, two for House Minority Leader and Mrs. Jim Wright, D-Texas, who sent their regrets, and one for Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret M. Heckler.

As is always the case at such events when every official in the line of succession is invited, one Cabinet member stays away to ensure the survival of a constitutional government in case some disaster were to wipe out all those present. Continued from Page 1 north and southbound lanes of I-95. Gerow, working alone, was not injured in the Clinton mishap. Skowhegan police reported only one storm related accident over the weekend and Fairfield Police Chief Neil J. Saucer reported a "quiet weekend" in that Somerset County town.

The weekend storm, which dumped twice the amount of snow predicted throughout Central Maine, surprised area residents who were led to believe through weather forecasts that only three or four inches of the white stuff would fall. The NWS had an explanation for the increase, however. It seems the low pressure system which developed about 50 to 100 miles east of the southern Maine coastline and which moved northerly was stronger than anticipated. "This gave us those extra inches," Marine explained. Snow flurries are predicted for the next few days throughout Central Maine while winter storm warning is out for Washington County where six more inches of snow is expected to fall there by nightfall today.

Central Maine businessmen have reported that dry gas, battery jumper cables and battery sales have increased since the onset of the deepfreeze. Even, Waterville police reports apparently reveal how cold it is. Scott Ackley of Armory Road Auto Sales reported the theft of a battery from one of their cars Friday night. worked up direct construction costs schedules, he said, producing the sugestimate required assuming a lower and debt service rates than other departments were using.

Following the televised ceremony, White House aides blitzed the television interview shows. of Staff Baker told ABC that the president will discusss "the creative genius of the American people," and that "we should do things that will lead to growth and opportunity and the cration of jobs." Donald Regan, the Treasury secretary who is swapping jobs with Baker "in a couple of weeks," told NBC that "the administration intends to cut federal budget deficits by spending reductions ruling out a tax increase.

He said the budget the president will submit to Congress on February 4 will "draw loud screams" from many quarters. National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, just returned from a trip to five Central American nations, told NBC that he had promised no specific aid amount to the El Salvador government, adding, "we will remain constant, supportive of our friends" in the region. He praised retired Sen. John Tower, chosen to head one of three elements of the U.S.-Soviet arms talks as "the best possible and said, "In the nuclear age, for the first time President Reagan is saying we've got to stop making these mountains of nuclear weapons ever issue deserves a lot of public debate." The Sunday-Monday ceremonies were a result of the tradition that when inauguration day falls on a Sunday, the public ceremonies are postponed a day. When it happened before, three presidents chose the Monday re-enactment, while two others merely waited until Monday for their swearing-in.

At Eisenhower's three-minute Sunday ceremony, reporters and cameramen were excluded. It was witnessed by 80 relatives, friends, government leaders as well as White House maids, ushers and cooks. Four years ago, it was 56 degrees on one of the balmiest inaugurals ever. This time, officials were prepared for a crowd of 140,000 to gather at the Capitol to watch the re-enactment and perhaps 200,000 more to line the parade route down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. However, a forecast of temperatures in the teens, coupled with high winds, threatened to hold down the size of the crowds.

Speakes said Reagan asked the inaugural committee Sunday morning to cancel a scheduled youth pageant outside the Jefferson Memorial "knowing that he would be out there only a few minutes but that others would be out for hours" in the cold. Reagan began his inaugural day at a Sunday prayer service at the Washington Cathedral. The Rev. Billy Graham recalled that Reagan, while governor of California, once took his then-11-year-old son Ron to the locker room of the Los Angeles Rams, the boy's favorite team. They players, who had lost that day, knelt in prayer.

Graham quoted Reagan as telling the coach later that he "walked out of that dressing room with my feet off the grateful to the boy's heroes for teaching him a lesson about prayer. Ron, although in town for the festivities and present at the swearingin, missed the morning prayer service. Following the oath-taking and reception for guests, Reagan was holding a private reception for celebrities who donated their talents as entertainers during the weekend inaugural activities. Reagan went before television cameras later Sunday to flip the coin that decides which team would kickoff in the National Football League title game the Super Bowl. Miami called heads but Reagan flipped tails.

Reagan later placed a televised congratulatory phone call to coach Bill Walsh of the winning San Francisco 49ers.
