noon that Waterbury city officials
would appear before the judiciary
committee 10 oppose a bill, intro
duced by Senator George +. Gull
hanc OF Waterbury calling for a
life pension upon her retirement
for Town Clerk Dora Egan OF Wa
terbury. It was foregonc conclu-
sion that the judiciary committee
would report unfayorably on the
bill.
At the same time 1t was learned
that there would be no opposition
TO bill calling for a pension for
John J. Murphy OF Waterbury, for
many years q county employe In
the court house In Waterbury.
Waterbury opposition to the
Egan retirement pension is to be
based on the fact that until six
years ago she worked on fee sys-
tenn and consequently has not
worked for the city OF Waterbury,
although she was an elective ON
cial. Opposition Is also said TO be
based on the fact that her service
has not been continuous, but was
interrupted by the years that the
late Robert Palmer was town clerk.
