PUBLICITY UNIT
 TO BE CONTINUED
Commission Has $4O,OOO Appropriation Approved
 By Legislature

Continuation for another two years of the activities of the Con- necticut Publicity Commission, of which Willard B. Rogers of Hart ford is chairman and of which E. Vincent Maloney, publisher of The Democrat, is a member is now aS- sured. The appropriations commit tee of the legislature met yesterday afternoon and approved a $40,0OO appropriation for the commission for the next bi-ennium.
 In all, the committee approved appropriations for IT special pro- jects and the publicity commission $ program was among them. Original ly the commission had sought a slightly larger appropriation if pos Sible but the committee decided that the utmost of economy would have to be practiced in connection with all IT special projects.
 The commission was created by an act of the legislature and the members are appointed directly by Governor Wilbur L. Cross. Since it's appointment the commission has done much to advertise Connecticut to the rest of the country. Thomas c. Perkins of Hartford is executive secretary of the group.
 Among the IT special projects ap- proved by the appropriations com mittee, of which Representative Daniel J. Mahaney of this city is a member, were: Construction of a Connecticut building at the Eastern States Exposition in Springfield, Mass, $35, 5000; participation in the Worlds Fair in New York in 1889, $40,000; participation in the New England Governors recreational ad- vertising fund, $9,500 year; parti- cipation in thet celebration in 1888 of the 30Oth anniversary of the set clement of the Swedes in Delaware, S2,000; purchase of the history of the 102nd regiment, c. N. G., for the state library, $2,500; participa- tion in the celebration of the 175th anniversary of the writing of the United States Constitution, $5,OOO. Several other bills calling for spe- cial appropriations were also ap- proved

 Mondays big parade will be cli- maxed by the presentation of a spe- cial memorial service program in the Hamilton Park pavilion under the direction of Commander John P Barry of the Disabled American Veterans, chairman of the commit tee.

for sure whether the senate is go- ing to stick with Governor Wilbur L. Cross or make a deal with the republican controlled house.
 No Comments
 Yesterdays conference followed adjournment of the senate. The powers that be were closeted for a long time but had no announce ment to make on what they intend to do with the judgeship and coun- ty commissioner resolutions. Nation al Committeeman David E. Fitzger- aid said that undoubtedly whatever action is taken on the judgeshipS will be taken, also, on the county commissionerships.
 It is understood that the house republicans, fearing that they are going to lose all, have offered sev- eral propositions. One was, it is reported, that the present set-up of the courts in the larger cities be let alone and that the judgeships in the smaller towns be thrown into the lap of the governor. However, the democrats of the senate are said to be wanting more than the republicans of the house have to offer.
 Old Deal Recalled
 While many of the senate demo- crats are in favor of a mo dear' stand they fear to let the judge ship and commissionerShip resolu- tionS go into the hands of the gov- ernor without first receiving some idea as to what he plans to do. It is practically a foregone conclusion that the governor, if he gets the power to make recess appointments in the minor courts, will slash from the list of present judges those who benefited by the judgeship deal of four years ago. Judge Edward Mas colo of the local city court went on the bench here four years ago when the democratic-republican deal went over. A. Sidney Lynch of West Haven went in as county commits sioner in the same deal.

Pension Grant
 For Dora Egan. Reported d'LOst'
Committee Chairman CIaf= fey Intimates That Mea=
 sure to Be Tabled

The legislative bill grant ing Town Clerk Egan of this city a life pension of half pay will be tabled by the com- mittee on cities and bor- oughs, it has been learned by the Waterbury Democrat.
 The bill has already been lost by the committee on judiciary and action, practically corresponding, IS expected to be taken by the cities and boroughs committee. Senator Robert E. Claffey of Hartford, chair man of the committee, stated to The Democrat that it is possible the bill may be Host" or brought in and tabled. With only one full legisla- tive week remaining either action would seem quite likely.
 Two Bills
 The bill in duplicate form was in- troduced by Senator George T. Cul- hane of Waterbury, one going to the judiciary committee, the other to the committee on cities and boroughs. Both bills were identical guarantee ing the incumben Town Clerk, Dora Egan, pension of half pay for life upon her retirement from office.
 It is of much interest to note that at the hearing before the committee on cities and boroughs Senator Gull hane who spoke in favor of the bill said that Town Clerk Egan desired to retire from her present office, This would seem to lend strength to the many rumors heard locally that she will not run for office this fall and may cause wide-open bat tie for the democratic nomination for Town Clerk.
 At the present time the salary ct the Town Clerk is $6,5O0 annually A pension, similar to that proposed this year, would give the retired of- ficial $3,250.
 No Opposition
 At the hearings held on the two bills there was no opposition, al- though it had been claimed that the city administration would voice ob- jection. At no time was there op- position by the administration or by individuals.
