Legislative
 Session Ends
By James Hutcheson .


 Juneau (P)-Alaska's nine teenth legislatnrp with & record for taxes enacted and appropria tions voted adjourned shortly before , am Friday morning The end to 70 days of law making came withio a few minutes after Cove nor Ernest Gruening rescinded a special ex tension call sfter what he des eribed as completion of legisla. tive responsibilities.
 Adjournment sine die came after the house concurred in the senate's general appropriation bill increase to 8 recoed $l3,- O4i ,0OO
 | Legislators, in both houses, when asked if they had assured a balanced budget, answered "yes", although there is 8 differ ence in their figures
 The house ways and means cemmltteesleaders estimated the revenae at SIS, ,65O, ,000 for the general fund, and total app. oprio ations at the same figure.
 The senate finance committee was more optimistic. They esti- 1 mated the revenue at $l9 650,- 900 and listed appropr ations st $l8,3O0,000.
 Prospective expenditures were boosted Thursday night when both houses agreed on a $65O,. O. 0 outlay for a new territorial office building
 Third divisi Il legislators were unsuccessful in an attempt to have Palmer designated as the site Both houses agreed to leave the selection of the site to the territorial board of ad- ministration, which is headed by the governor.
 Critics labeled the nineteenth session as 8 tax happy legisla- ture". while administration SUD- porters contended it enacted a long needed basic tax program. Actual tax revenue estimates go beyond the general fund fig ures
 The tobacco tax is estimated to raise a million dollars in 2 years and was not included in the general fund. It is earmarked for school building, construction in addition to $2, ,250, ,0O0 appro- priated for such buildings.
 More than a million dollars Is expected from motor fuel taxes and it is marked for highways and airports.
 All togethe, it adds up to more than $2O 100000 the legislature expects to raise in taxes the next Z years
