debate and dis- cussion a tax revision inched forward in the Senate Thursday in heavily rewritten form The tax passed in the House early this year in the wake of taxpayer protests was recommended for passage by a vote of a Senate The vote sends it to a Monday night hearing of the Senate Ways and Means Committee From there it could be sent to the Senate floor But its chances for quick sage appeared doubtful The chief sponsor of the in the House said it was unacceptable in its present form meaning the measure would have to go to a conference committee after Senate approval House Speaker Vernal G Riffe Jr New Boston said it appeared possible the would not go to the governor's desk until June The biggest change in the measure to taxpayers is likely to be its new effective Sept 1 1978 That would mean two more years of tax bills at approximately their present rates with revised tax bills not due until January 1979 Sen Marigene Valiquette D- 11 Toledo said the new tive date reflects a policy

of the also incorporates tax tration features of another which sets up a Division of Tax Equalization to handle the ad- ministrative portions of the present Board of Tax Appeals But unlike the other tax ad- ministration which sets up a judicial tax court the Senate revision keeps the BTA as a quasijudicial body The House sponsor Rep John E Johnson Orrville said he was particularly py with that feature After 16 or 18 months of work on this I'm sort of hung up on that Tax Court of Johnson told the Senate subcommittee As revised in the Senate the relies upon a present BTA order freezing

previous year revenues A Legislative Budget Office analysis of the measure said the would cut taxes on real estate by about million in 1978 Recent CIA Defender Will Soon Step Down resignation stemmed
