Adulthood at 18 to cut aid rolls by 29,000
California's age of majority law drops adulthood to 18 for most, eliminating AFDC for many 18 year olds and reducing aid for thousands of families. State officials estimate about 29,000 young adults may be removed from welfare rolls with roughly 30 million in annual savings.

No tax boost seen in new state budget
Gov Reagan will present a 7 billion dollar budget next year with no tax increase, says Verne Orr, California finance director. He forecasts at least 400 million extra general fund revenue for 1972-73, pushing the current year budget to about 7.2 billion. Orr expects lawmakers in 1972 to avoid new tax bills while citing a bright economy with rising state revenues and aerospace job losses in 1972. He notes inflation likely to be kept in check and mentions a 50 million payroll withholding tax package enacted this year as a cushion for 1872-73. The administration will push property tax relief paired with school funding amid California's court ruling on school finance.

A new testing method for mercury in swordfish aims to expand acceptable fish by about tenfold. Ted Ghia, a San Diego market owner, reports state testing will begin next August with individual fish analysis rather than whole-batch tests. The plan envisions private labs certifying each shipment to meet federal standards, funded by the industry and monitored by the state.
