employees and officials to turn over to the city treasurer any fees re ceived apart from salaries. This applies mainly to the clerk of the city court, the post now held by At torney Irving Pasternak, Democrat. It would force him to turn into the city treasury all money collected from the state for abstracts of motor vehicle law violations. The clerk now gets @ for each abstract sent to Hartford. Tn the course of a year this amounts to a considerable sum.
 Two other bills filed with this group were in skeleton form. One authorizes the issuance of funding bonds by the City of Waterbury. The other amends that section of the city charter on appropriation of funds and repeals the charter pro- vision setting up e surplus resource sinking fund.
 Life Tenure For Teachers /
 Senator George T. Culhane to- day introduced bill in the Senate which would guarantee life tenure for all Waterbury school teachers and principals. The bill provides that all teachers and principals, now in the service of the City of Waterbury shall continue to hold their positions at their present grades unless promoted or de- noted for cause.
 The measure would also apply to teachers appointed in the future.
 Such law gives virtual lifetime appointments to all teachers and principals. The bill also amends the present city charter provision which says the mayor must approve the salaries and terms of Waterbury teachers. The Culhane bill also applies to the superintendent of schools.
 The present practice is to hire teachers and principals on a year to year basis. Contracts are re- newed each year.
 Widows Pensions
 In blank form Senator Culhane presented bill concerning the pen- sion for widows of members of the Waterbury Police Department. It IS believed that 1t calls for contri- buttons by the city to the Police Department Widows Pension Fund. Miscellaneous Measures A group of Culhane measures covered such things as regulation of sale of foot appliances; establish ment of compulsory and exclusive Workmens Compensation Fund; two blank bills on the Waterbury Fire Department; compelling jur- ors in the state to be between the ages of 25 and 70; forcing the state to furnish medical care to old age assistance beneficiaries.
 A number of changes in the H. quor laws also are provided for in bills introduced by Senator Culhane. One would allow taverns to sell H. quor, but at a higher permit fee, the amount of the increased fee not stated. Sales of liquor to 1 @. m. in- stead of midnight would be permit ted and sales after p. m. on election days would also be legalized. Liquor advertiseme in windows of li- quor establishments would be for bidden.
 Bills by Sen. Egan
 Senator Edward P. Egan of Wa terbury today presented Q bill which affects the appointment of all coro- ners in the state of Connecticut. They would be named by the Judges of the superior court, one to each county. Their terms would be for three years and deputy coroners would be paid the same as the coroner.

 Some Improvement
 Doctors reported this morning that there was an improvement ill the condition of the superintendent ot streets, but that in the interest of avoiding delays in the future be- cause of possible relapse, 1t would be better to save him from return ing to daily sessions next Tuesday.
