House Sidetracks Two Measures Against Greylock Development
In Boston two anti Greylock development bills failed to pass in the House. The measures would abolish the Mt. Greylock Tramway Authority and tighten the Greylock Reservation Commission’s powers, but were sent to Natural Resources for further study. The debate highlighted absences in the Ways and Means Committee while backers pressed for action to end or delay the project.

Higher Tax On Incomes Is Posed
The House unveiled a revamped tax plan pushing income tax hikes to raise 189.9 million dollars in new revenue, with 138.2 million from income taxes. It omits the sales tax of Gov. Volpe’s plan but adds taxes on earned and unearned income, insurance premiums, vending machines, cigarette stamps, local telephone service, hotel and motel rooms, and mutual banks. The plan lowers the basic personal exemption from 2000 to 1500, removes deductions for federal and state taxes, and includes new taxes on telephone use and other items, as announced by Ways and Means Chairman Anthony M. Scibelli.
