Miss M1knattiS, whose appoint ment was made at a meeting of state superior court judges in New Haven yesterday and announced of- flcially today by Chief Justice Will liam M. Maltbie of the State Supreme Court, will take charge of 8 new naturalization division of superior court to be set up shortly in the quarters HOW occupied by the workmen's compensation court.
 Appointment of Miss Dwyer was made by Judges Miles F. McNiff and John F. McDonough, resident judges, and will be presented for confirmation by all of the state Common Pleas Court judges when they hold their annual meeting in June. Under Statutes provision appointment in the state courts start with the court year in July, and offlcla1 appointment of both Miss Dwyer and Miss Miknaitis will be registered at that time.
 With the creation of the new naturalization post one clerical posi- tion in the superior court clerks office was abolished. The job was created last year when naturaliza- tion work showed an excessive in- crease. The judges indicated that with the appointment of full-time naturalization official the extra position in the clerks office would not be necessary.
 The new naturalization office will be under the supervision of Superior Court Clerk James M. Mcknight and will be a branch of the superior court office on the second floor of the building. The task of moving the naturalization files to the new quarters will be started as soon as the compensation office moves to the First Federal Savings and Loan association building on Leavenworth street.
 It was reported today that shipment of files to be used by the compensation court in its new quar- terS is expected here within a few days and the staff will transfer its quarters as soon as the equipment arrives. Miss Miknaitis meanwhile will conduct naturalization work in a room in the common pleas court clerks office.
 The new naturalization office was requested here by naturalization of ficials in Hartford because of the increasing tasks involved and the numerous other duties performed in the main office of the superior court clerk.
 Miss Miknaitis, who took her oath to the common pleas court post Feb. 1, 1892, was scheduled to be sworn into her new position later today by Superior Court Judge Frank P Mo Evoy. An oath will be administered later to Miss Dwyer.
 Andrew Dawson is chief clerk of the common pleas court. It is be- lieved the job held previously by Miss Dwyer, will not be filled.

Miss Fennelsey Canty, spokeS- man for the group, pointed out that the board acquired several new members since 1t acted at that time the board approv6ed the theory of exploitation but put off the requested adjustment because of budgetary considerations. She asked that further consideration be given by the newly organized board.
 Miss Canty said that equaliza- tion of pay would not affect the tax rate. She explained it was not the wish of the women teachers to im- pose any additional tax burden on the taxpayers and presented fig ures to show that an increase in the tax rate would not be neceS- sary if the request were granted.
 It was pointed out that approxi- mately $27,0O0 would be needed to raise the women teachers salaries to the level of those now paid to men teachers. With the grand list set at 189 millions dollars, the in- crease would amount only to IA VI O 1IlAAl3 4U WdO disclosed. Such an increase would not necessitate addition of another mill to the tax rate, it was pointed out.
 The spokesman for the teachers referred to list of pay schedules published in a Waterbury Repubi- can recently and said it did not present a true picture. She said numerous cities in which there is equalization and in which the pay rates are higher than in Water bury were omitted. Fifteen such cities were cited as follows: Passaic, $3,40O; Bloomfield, $3,850; Mont clair, $4,000; Newark, $4.0Oo; Orange, $4,20O; Bayonne, $500; Kearney, $500; Union City, $3,85o; Trenton, $500; Mt. Vernon, $4,O00; New Rochelle, $4,000; West Plains, s, 300; Yonkers $3,5o0; Springfield. $2,900; and Greenwich, $500. Of those To- calities only four have a larger pop ulation than Waterbury, it was pointed out.
