Income tax measure seen unlikely to pass this session
Atlanta Aug 18 Proponents doubt passage of an income tax constitutional amendment this session though a measure endorsed by the governor was discussed. Senate action on a bureau funding bill was deferred and an amended appropriation would rise to 100000 annually. Oil inspection cuts were likely as the House backed a substitute lowering inspectors to six. The five day marriage law was amended to exclude those over 21, and birth certificates or affidavits may be required for licenses.
