No action to invalidate the nom- mating petitions of the Waterbury Taxpayers Good Government Party and the Waterbury Socialist Party will be taken by the Secretary of State, it was reliably reported to The Waterbury Democrat today. The formal decision is expected to be handed down within few days.
 Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin had requested that the Secretary of State Check the validity of both petitions which appear with iden- tical signers in many instances.
