Fire House
Site Stirs
Controversy
By Joan Stern
Sentinel Correspondent

The Rockville city council
promised Tuesday night to
use condemnation powers, if
necessary, to help the city's
fire department find a more
suitable location for its new
station than a holly debated site
at Ardennes ave. and HaIpine
I'd.
Residents from the popuious
area surrounding the proposed
site became aroused after first
reading about the fire depart
ment's plans in the Sentinel.
They petitioned the mayor and
city council to intervene on
grounds that Halpine rd. and
Ardennes ave. were too narrow
for fire engines and are usually
crowded with small children.
The council in turn asked
members Of the fire department
to attend Tuesdays hearing and
present their official plans. ITS
better to get information di.
rectly than from the newspa-
pers," Mayor Alexander j.
Greene told the firemen.
Marbery Gates, fire depart.
ment president, told the council
that the departments proposed
site is owned by DR.. Gerold
Schipper and Dermot Nee. He
also said the site was the best
of three considered by the de-
partment.
When Greene discovered the
department has no powers of
condemnation he offered to look
into the possibility of the city
using its powers to condemn, if
that would help locate the pro-
posed second fire house in a
more suitable spot.
Greene directed City Attorney
William A. Lmthicum to look
into legality of the plan.
Greene also called for an
early meeting of Fire Depart
ment officials with the Plan
ming Commission
"You may have to use this
location" Greene said, but
there may be alternatives. It's
better to work out a solution be-
fore you go before the County
Council"
The Fire Department has al
ready requested a hearing be-
fore the council on the second
fire house.
Everyone wants fire service,
but no one wants a fire house"
OateS declared.
Fireman James o. Gartner
said the purpose of the second
firehouse would be to sefvice
the area from Twinbrook to
Congressional Plaza.
In response to questioning
from council members he said
it would be necessary for fire
engines to be routed over Ar
dennes ave. and possibly Allan
tic ave. to reach any points on
Veirs Mill rd., such as the two
shopping centers.
The council was told that 1t
now takes approximately five
minutes for engines to reach
the area from Rockville station.
With a second location located
at Halpine and Ardennes it
would take two minutes.
Gartner said volunteers would
be organized in the Twinbrook
area to stat fthe station.

.Judgeship
Campaign
Is Boiling

Ralph G.. Shure for election
to the Circuit Court bench
took issue with one of
Shure's primary foes this
week and accused him of set
ting up mythical issues, COM
pletely unsupported by facts"
David E. Belts, a member of
the Lawyers for Shure' COM
mittee, aimed his verbal jab at
Plummer M. Shearin, who has
been critical of some phases of
the administration of justice
and court policy in recent
weeks. He issued his statement
as other candidates in the
judgeship race remained rela-
'tively quiet.
|, Belts denied the statement,
/ tttributed to Shearin, that
/ lockets in the county courts
ire -four to six years behind"
This is not only a reflection
IN the present judges, but the
Impression thus created is en-
cIfely false" Belts declared.
"Our court dockets are not now,
nor have they been over the
past "a years of my experience
behind more than matter of
months, and in any case which
required prompt action could
always get it upon a proper
showing by one or the other of
tn litigants."
Belts, a former Bar Associa-
ton president, commended that
both the bench and the bar
have been actively and con-
tinuously" engaged in revising
the rules of practice and pro-
cedure for the purpose of ex-
pediting trials. In Shearin's ad-
vocacy of revised rules and
practices, he asserted, Shearin
"thus creates the impression,
entirely erroneous, that we are
operating under antiquated
rules"
"AlthOugh the success of this
technique of false issues In poll
teal campaigns has been
demonstrated in the past" Belts
said, II deplOre its use by one
who is running for judicial
office where such tactics surely
have no place."
The attorney also question
ed the adequacy of Shearin's
experience and cited Shure's
own 24-year tenure as a prac-
ticing lawyer and judge. OF
Shearin, he said: "The record
shows he has been a member
of the bar only since 1851, and
this gives him approximately
one half the experience most
lawyers consider necessary be-
fore one should aspire to the
beach"
Meanwhile, John E. Oxley as
serted he had received assur.
ance that the Democratic State
Central Committee would take
no position in support of any
of the party judgeship candi-
dates.
''The claims of supporters OF
another candidate that he is
backed by the Democratic or.
ganization are untrue and a
deliberate attempt to mislead
the voters in their choice of a
qualified candidate for this
office" Oxley declared.
A Republican candidate, VIII.
liam A. Quinlan, announced ap-
pointment of William H.
Romack, jr., an unsuccessful
candidate for the County Coun'
Gil in 1858, as organizer Of cam
paign workers supporting his
candidacy.
