EXEMPTIONS ISSUE MIGHT
 BE Up AGAIN
Tax Bill Awaits Governor $ Signature, Bui Issues
 Not Dead
BULLETIN The National Guard bill passed the House this afternoon at 12:45 o'clock by a vote of IA to 10.
By JIM HUTCHINSON

Alaska's first general property tax bill was being enrolled in final form today for Governor Gruen- ing's signature, but there were indi- cations exemptions issue might again stalk the legislative chambers lefore the sessions end.
 The House lest no time yesterday afternoon in concurring, 18-6, with the Senate amendments to the bill. But several House members ex- pressed dissatisfaction with the low ering of the personal property ex- emption to $200, and there was talk even in the urgency oi rushing through the concurrence, that the issue could be reopened and the new act possibly amended after the governor signs it into law.
 The House had originally set the exemption at $2,500 as a concession primarily to fishing boat owners and it was their situation that was mentioned by several of the legis- lators as they waived their objec- tions in order to "get the law on the books
 It is the second major revenue bill of the governors long-advocated basic taxation program to be passed by the legislature. The oth- CT was the income tax bill.
 House members expressed a feal that if they refused to concur, and the bill was sent into Senate House conference committee, some thing might go wrong and cause the Senators to eacktrack on the whole proposition.
 Speaker Stan McCutcheon, ir pleading for prompt concurrence said the bill would be jeopardized if it were thrown into conference committee. There would be chance of losing the whole bill.'
 Opponents of speedy concurrence asked for additional time to con- slider the Senate amendments. The two Johnsons- Frank G. and Frank L.-both expressed desire to study the changes overnight, and Rep Marcus Jensen, a bitter-end oppon- ent of the property tax, admon- ished We shouldn't pass over the senate changes lightly"
 REVENUE ESTIMATED
 Sen. Victor Rivers and Speaker McCutcheon both estimated tht revenue from the bill at $4,000,00i for the biennium. Rep. Glen Frank lin promptly challenged the figure however. as not representing wha; it would bring the territorial treas ury.
 Tt will mean only $2,000,000 fol the biennium to the territory" saie Franklin, who is member of ths House Ways and Means Commit. tee.
