to her husband and those she
loved gained for her

Too Early to Soy
On Fund Cuts,
Almond Declares

RICHMOND, April 90 CAP).
Gov. Almond has said it is too
early to tell whether it will be
necessary to cut appropriations
to match revenue in the coming
biennium.
Asked at a press conference
whether he thought il might
be necessary to convene the
General Assembly in special
session to pass some new tax
meaure-probably a sales tax
Gov. Almond said it would be
after the new biennium begins
July l before such a decision
could possibly be made.
Il wouldn't want to threaten
anyone with" a special tax
passing session, he added.
The Governor proposed to the
recent General Assembly a 3
per cent sales tax. The Legis-
lature turned down the sales
tax but passed a series Of
other tax measures, such as
tobacco and liquor taxes and
boosted the beer tax.
Gov. Almond expressed the
view earlier that the expected
revenues in the coming bien-
mum might not be enough to
meet appropriations. He hinted
then it might be necessary to
cut appropriations.
