 "The $12,000,000 boost in purchases by the chain stores is only part of the total advance" the committee added.

Senator Culhane
 Proposes System
 To Protect Widows
Senator Egan Offers Bill for City Plan Commission; Many Waterburians, Including Fremen Police
 men Attend Hearing in Hartford Today

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol. Hartford, April A. Senator George T. Culhane's new pension system for city employees and Senator Edward P. Egan's proposal for 8 city plan commission came up for discussion before the cities and boroughs committee of the legisla- ture this afternoon as hearings on Waterbury bills were completed for this se>Slon of the legislature.
 Also to come up for hearings this afternoon were bills allowing the award of pensions to Miss Catherine L. Malone, employe of the city clerks office, and James Lynch, former city employe.
 Under Senator Culhane's revision of the present city pension system in Waterbury, special pension funds for widows of policemen and firemen would be established. Policemen and firemen would contribute 2 per cent of their earnings annually, while the city would contribute per cent of it's revenue from liquor licenses. Widows of policemen and firemen would receive one-fourth of their husbands pay
 The bill also provides that every city employe shall receive 8 pension of half-pay when he retires after completing 30 years of service, with the exception of members of the education department. No pension under this provision would be less than $1,0OO a year.
 The widow of any city employe with 30 years service would receive 8 pension of one-half her husbands pay.
 The city plan commission proposed by Senator Egan would have broad powers. It would supervise the fu- ture development of the city, and would be self-perpetuating. Large city expenditures must be approved by the commission, and it would be
