Sargent Plans New Tack On Beaten Tax Program
Governor Francis W. Sargent, rebuffed for a second day by the House, plans a new approach in about a week. He weighs a sales tax route to raise about 140 million dollars, with 56.2 million from a 14 percent income tax surtax and 36.9 million from eliminating the federal deduction. Curtiss and other Republicans split on the plan, with cities and towns favored for relief and state costs driving the majority. However, no arm twisting occurred as both parties showed independence from their leaders. The funds aim to 80 million for local property tax relief and 60 million for state costs and worker pay.

Court Limits Rate Freeze for Drivers in Massachusetts
The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that Insurance Commissioner Eugene Farnam cannot freeze auto insurance rates beyond the compulsory $5,000 property damage limit. Companies may file new schedules for 1969 and 1970 to cover added property damage costs, effective December 31 of the prior year. The decision preserves the commissioner's ability to freeze 1969 property damage rates within compulsory bodily injury coverage.
