Delay Date for Machinery Tax Exemption Postponed
The effective date of a measure exempting machinery from real estate taxation in all counties except Philadelphia and Allegheny will be postponed to January 1 1986. Gov. John S. Fine supported delaying the date to allow municipalities and school districts time for assessments and budgets. The measure, sponsored by Rep. W. Walterhouse, faced Democratic opposition but supporters argued it preserves industry.

Kaufman told County Commissioners that $287,541 of an effective $531,750 budget had been spent by June. An $18,500 non governmental expense line is reserved for a building fund and cannot cover current costs.

The House approved the defense spending bill totaling 44.37 billion dollars, sending it to the Senate.
