School Janitors Here
 Eligible For Pension
Legislature Expected to Pass Committees Report;
 Bill Presented at Request of Mayor Hayes

reported on by either the judiciary committee or the committee on cities and boroughs. The judiciary committee, in executive session sev- erals days ago, discussed the bill briefly and then decided that it was not ready yet to make a report. A similar bill was referred to the cities and boroughs committee. This con- mittee has also found itself un- able to make a report as yet. There is a strong possibility that the bill may never come out of committee although Senator George T. Cul- hane, its sponsor, has not yet given up hope.
 Forgotten Men"
 The pension bill acted upon fav- orably yesterday afternoon fills a gap in the Waterbury retirement system that was unintentionally created when the amendment to the Brass City charter was original ly enacted. The school department was excluded because, it was point ed out, the teachers have 8 retire. ment system of their own. However it was finally discovered that other employees of the school department were not sharing the privileges un. der the retirement system that toher city employees were, hence the raising of the bill in committee.
