There is a question whether t'.ie repeal of the quarter-mill roi 1 tax can apply to this year aa well is next. Tbe bill as drawn cov irs both yearo. If that holds it means $265,000 additional. It would bring the total proceeds of revenue bills up to $3,200,000. th:? grand total of available funds up to $7,884,981.90, and the amount left over up to $913,686.97.

Yielding to the plea of the 'u durance men that an increase in the gross premium tax on domestic and foreign life Insurance compan ies be Increased irom 2.26 to 2.5 pe rcent, tbe committee was mboi:t ready to drop it.
