Legislature backs judicial retirement plan in special session
The bill advanced by the Senate Judiciary Committee would create a retirement program for judges age 65 with 20 years service and for disabled judges with 10 years. Eligible judges would retire at two thirds pay, with a fund built from 25 percent of existing county funds and ongoing 25 percent shares from Supreme and Superior Court fees plus 1 percent salary deduction. Supreme Court justices would drop from 8500 to 5666.67 annually and Superior Court judges from 7500 to 5000.

McFarland Changes Alter Reclamation Bill in Senate
During closing debate Senator Ernest W. McFarland offered amendments that eliminated non reimbursable allocations for silt and recreation from the Central Arizona Project. Acting Commissioner Kenneth Markwell indicated the 1947 unit prices would yield a total cost of 708,780,000 with a 73 year payback if non reimbursables are removed. The move aimed to bolster Arizona support and suggested falling costs for reclamation projects based on Markwell’s letter.
