Hartford, March 24.-The recon-
mendation of the judiciary committee
which passed the senate this. week and
which is assured of passage in the
house next week Wednesday, that the
number Of judges of the superior and
supreme courts be increased to eigh-
teen, will place In the hands of Gov
ernor Templeton the privilege and
responsibility of appointing three new
judges, one to succeed James H.
Webb of Hamden, who retires by age
Limitation in December, 1924, and
two new judges created by this act
the present number Of the judges Of
the supreme and superior courts be-
ing sixteen.
1t is an interesting fact that the
last time the number of judgeships
was increased was in the encumbency
Of office of another Waterbury gov
ernor, George l.. Lilley. This in.
crease was made in the early days OF
the legislature Of 1909. The courts
had been congested and the recon-
mendation had been made by the
state Bar association and by other
bodies previous to the incoming Of
that general assembly, SO that 1t was
generally understood that the legisla-
ture would increase the number Of
Among the judges ap-
pointed at that time, some of whom
were appointed by Governor Lilley
and some by his successor, Governor
Weeks, were Lucien +. Burpee, now
of the supreme bench. Gardner Green
