Income tax surpluses. Scott said, would total about $53,000, 000 on June 30, 1949, but cannot be diverted into the general fund except by the voters' approval. 1 Transfer or the $8,000,000, or more if necessary, from the in come tax surplus to cover the deficit, will be referred to the voters in November. 1948. by authorization of the 1947 legislature. The state treasurer estimated the state income tax would re turn $4,000,000 additional reve nue in this fiscal year, ending June 30, 1948, as the result of Thursday's decision of the state supreme court affirming lower income tax exemptions and im posing a 1 per cent state with holding tax. va -a . .... vsi xne additional revenue, Scott said, $2,500,000 will come from lowered exemptions. $750. 000 from withholding and 1750 000 from changes In the short form return and from the new t per cent oracxec f-RZNCH HKAK OF TKATN WESTOVER FIELD, Dee. 10 W" One hundred thousand pamphlets picturing the Friend ship Train on Its run. through the United States were loaded aboard an air transport command plane today.
