Assembly yesterday, but insisted
individual income taxes can be
cut Is per cent.
He also asked the Legislature at
the start Of it's 30-day 1852 ses-
sion here to approve a $22,725 ,000
building program for next fiscal
year, beginning July 1.
The total of almost $500 million
exceeds this years figure by $14

Mr.. McKeldin. In supporting a
bill prepared by the Legislative
Council to cut taxes Is per cent
on 1851 income, said the State
has more than enough surplus to
make the reduction. He proposed
taking So million from an antici-
+pated $12 million surplus at the
end Of this fiscal year to make
up the tax cut.

the expected increase In State aid
to hospitals that treat poverty

raising the States allotment per

increase alone would cost nearly
$422, 900.
He gave a bright picture OF
revenue prospects. Only liquor
and beer taxes are expected to
slump, he said. He relied on the
income tax alone for $42.4 million
of which the State will keep $34,-
