 Revenue from the bill is estim- ated roughly at $4,OOO,OOO for the biennium.

OdIuIudy, JdIludTy II, lSfS
 JUNEAU, (P0 - With Alaska's s first general income tax bill await ing Governor Gruening's sigma ture today, the Senate prepared to act on two other measures which would quadruple fish trap taxes and levy a one per cent tax on property.
 There was strong likelihood that the Senate woud continue in- to overtime tonight as the special session reaches it's close.
 Neither the fish trap nor pro- perty tax bills had been given more than remote chance of en- actment, but last night the chair man of the Senate taxation com- mittee said the outlook had chang ed.
 Sen. Victor Rivers, Anchorage Democrat who heads the commit tee, said the fish trap measure would reach the Senate floor and "has a good chance of passage. |" He was somewhat dubious, how ever, over the fate at the proposed property tax.
 Sen. R. M. Mackenzie, Ketchi- kan Democrat, also predicted that the upper chamber would put through the House-approved trap tax bill.
 Much of the legislation which was sidetracked during the special session is expected to be re-intro- duced in the regular 60-day ses-
