Sales tax, — imposition, etc. In reply to the point of order the Chair (Mr. Quinn of Boston) reiterated a ruling made by it at last Thursday's sitting. AnY amendment offered on the pending matter must be within the scope of the Governor's message. A few days ago when a tax matter was on the Calendar great latitude was allowed for amendments because the particular matter was based on a report of the special commission on taxation which recommended a revision of the entire tax structure of the Commonwealth. It should be clear to every member that any amendment offered to the matter presently before the House should be within the scope of the recommendation of the Governor contained in House, No. 4265.". In other words it is permissible for the House to give the Governor all of the provisions he is recommending. It is permissible to give the Governor less than he is recommending. How- ever, to give the Governor more than he is recommending, — such as including in the sales tax additional items, — would be going beyond the scope of the message and should not be enter- tained. The Chair therefore ruled that the proposed amendment went beyond the scope of the message from His Excellency the Governor; and therefore stated that the point of order was well taken. The amendment offered by Mr. Shea was laid aside accordingly. Mr. Shea then moved that the bill be amended in section 1 by inserting after the word "products;", in line 269, the words "soap and soap products and any vessel or container or material used in the preparation of food for home consumption;". Point of After remarks Mr. Newth of Swampscott raised the point of order. order that the amendment offered by the gentleman from Quincy was improperly before the House for the reason that it went beyond the scope of the message from His Excellency the Gov- ernor upon which the pending bill was based. The Chair (Mr. Quinn of Boston) ruled that the point of order was not well taken for the reason that it would in effect eliminate a taxable item and therefor would give the Governor less than he asked for. After debate on the question on adoption of the amendment, 28 members voted in the affirmative and 27 in the negative. Mr. Shea The sense of the House then was taken by yeas and nays, at of Quincy amendment the request of Mr. Curt-iss of Sheffield; and on the roll call 124 adopted, — yea and nay members voted in the affirmative and 97 in the negative. No. 282. [See Yea and Nay No. 282 in Supplement.]

[Mr. Iannello of Boston answered "Present' m response to his name.] Therefore the amendment offered by Mr. Shea of Quincy was adopted. Mr. Farrell of Worcester then moved that the bill be further amended in section 1 by inserting after the word "purposes" in

line 249, the words "and (3) any real estate containing four V^n rental units or less and occupied by the owner thereof as his

domicile;"; and by inserting after the word "institution" in line 251, the words "or the owner of such real estate". After remarks Mr. Curtiss of Sheffield raised the point of order Point of that the amendments offered by the gentleman from Worcester order" were improperly before the House for the reason that they went beyond the scope of the message from His Excellency the Governor upon which the pending bill was based. The Chair (Mr. Quinn of Boston) stated that in accordance with his previous ruling he would rule that the point of order was not well taken for the reason that it would in effect eliminate a taxable item and therefor would give the Governor less than he asked for. After debate on the question on adoption of the amendments offered by Mr. Farrell of Worcester, 37 members voted in the affirmative and 48 in the negative. The sense of the House then was taken by yeas and nays, at the Mr. Farrell request of Mr. Farrell; and on the roll call 104 members voted in amendments the affirmative and 126 in the negative. rejected,— yea and nay No. 283. [See Yea and Nay No. 283 in Supplement.]

Therefore the amendments offered by Mr. Farrell of Worcester were rejected. Mr. DesRoches of New Bedford then moved that the bill be amended by striking out sections 7 to 49, inclusive, and inserting in place thereof the following two new sections: "SECTION 7. Subsection (b) of section 5 of chapter 62 of the General Laws, as most recently amended by section 1 of chapter 677 of the acts of 1957, is hereby further amended by striking out the second sentence and inserting in place thereof the following sentence:-—In the case of a single person or a married person filing a separate return the exemption allowable under this subsection shall be two thousand dollars with an additional exemption of five hundred dollars if the taxpayer has attained the age of sixty-five before the close of his taxable year; provided, however, that if the taxpayer is totally blind the exemption otherwise allowable shall be increased by two thousand dollars. "SECTION 8. Said chapter 62 is hereby further amended by inserting after section 6A, the following new section: Section 6B. Every individual who was an inhabitant of the commonwealth for not less than six months during the taxable year, and who was not a dependent, as defined in section 5B, of another taxpayer for such year, shall be entitled for such taxable year to a credit of four dollars for each of the following: himself, his spouse and each dependent, as defined in section 5B, provided, however, that such credit shall not be allowable if the total income subject to taxation under this chapter of such individual and his spouse, if any, exceeded $4000 for such year. No credit shall be allowable under this section to a married individual unless a joint return is filed under this chapter or chapter sixty-two A. If the tax due as shown by the return of any individual is less than the total amount of the credits which he is entitled to claim pursuant to this section, such individual shall be entitled to a refund in the amount of the excess of the credits over the tax otherwise due. Sales tax, imposition, etc. Any individual entitled to claim any credit pursuant to this section and not otherwise required to file a return under this chapter may obtain a refund in the amount of such cr®dlt by filing a return and claiming a refund. Any refund to which an individual is entitled under the provisions of this section shall be made in the same manner as other refunds under this chapter. No refund or credit shall be allowed pursuant to this section unless such credit or refund is claimed on a return filed on or before the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year or within any extension of time for filing such return granted pursuant to section twenty-nine.". After debate on the question on adoption of the amendment offered by Mr. DesRoches of New Bedford, Mr. Curtiss of Sheffield moved the previous question; and on this motion, 39 members voted in the affirmative and 38 in the negative. Main question The sense of the House then was taken by yeas and nays, at not ordered, — yea and nay the request of Mr. DesRoches; and on the roll call 92 members No. 284. voted in the affirmative and 139 in the negative. [See Yea and Nay No. 284 in Supplement.]

[Mr. Iannello of Boston answered "Present" in response to his name.] Therefore the amendment offered by Mr. DesRoches of New Bedford was adopted. Mr. Murphy of Boston then moved that the bill be amended by adding at the end thereof the following new section: "SECTION 133. Any city or town which receives funds either directly or indirectly as a result of the implementation of this act or which is thereby enabled to save monies which otherwise would have to be spent must allocate at least seventy-five per cent of such monies received or saved for the sole purpose of reducing local property taxes. ° Any owner of residential or commercial property whose lo 1 property tax is thus reduced must pass on to any and all of his tenants a proportionate share of such tax-relief in the form of • t reduction. lent Such rent reduction is to be determined by computing the erty owner's net annual property tax reduction and dividingtv" figure equally by the number of his tenants and himself." & Point of Mr. Chadwick of Winchester thereupon raised the ;, order.

After debate on the question on adoption of the amendment, statement of Mr. Iannello of Boston asked unanimous consent to make a state- chariesiannJiio ment; and, there being no objection, he addressed the House, of Boston.

The sufferings of this life, no matter whence they come, bring home to us as nothing else can, the worthlessness of earthly happi- ness, and make us long for that better land "whence the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest". Grant us, this day, 0 Lord, the strength to tread Your footsteps along the Way of the Cross and find You in eternal joy. Amen.

To be gentle, patient, meek, long-suffering, kind and charitable amid the friction and petty annoyances which we en- counter in our daily life, needs more courage than it requires to perform some heroic act at which the world marvels.

The following message from His Excellency the Governor was filed in the office of the Clerk on Friday last:

THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, October 22, 1965.

To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives: State office The Government Center Commission, established by Chapter building and health, welfare 635 of the Acts of 1960, was authorized to expend the sum of and education service center, $26,000,000 for the purpose of constructing a new State Office — increased Building. The Building is now nearing completion. Changes in appropriation. the allocation of space to the various state agencies to be housed in the building since the original authorization five years ago have resulted in certain increased cost. To enable the Commission to complete the entile program connected with the construction of the Building and improvements to the site, including the erection of partitions and the demolition of buildings still within the area, it is necessary to provide an additional $600,000 for the purpose. The Commission was also authorized to construct, as part of the Government Center complex, three additional buildings. These buildings also authorized five years ago were to house the Division of Employment Security, the Departments of Health, Education and Welfare and a Mental Health Center and Laboratory. Chapter 685 of the Acts of 1962 increased the total authorized for the construction of these three additional buildings to a total of $34,000,000 now authorized. Plans have now been completed for the buildings and present estimates of the total cost of construction, according to the present design, exceed the amount available by appioximately $8,000,000. The Commission cannot move forward with the project until the additional $8,000,000 has been authorized or changes are made in the present plans. It is possible for the Commission to eliminate at this time the construction of the Mental Health Center ot to eliminate a portion of the construction of the tower on the Health, Education and Welfare Building. Either of these items is estimated to cost approximately $8,000,000. The Commission, however, is reluctant to leave un- completed a part of the project which was authorized in the original legislation and in areas where the needs have increased. The expanding program of the Commonwealth in the field of Health, Education and Welfare, as well as the increased allotment of Federal funds for these purposes, require more efficient facilities for their administration. Changes in the treatment of Mental Health patients make now more necessary than when the plan was originally conceived the facilities in the proposed Mental Health Center. I recognize that these services will again add to the total expenditures required to be made by the Commonwealth. However, if we are to remain in the forefront in the consideration of the needs of our citizens, we must provide these essential facilities. The additional sum required by the Commission to complete this comprehensive program to which we have been previously committed again demonstrates the constantly growing revenue requirements of the Commonwealth. I, therefore, am required to recommend that you approve the attached legislation which will provide the Commission with $600,000 to be in addition to the $26,000,000 originally authorized for the construction of the new State Office Building and $8,000,000 for the purpose of authorizing the necessary funds for the construction of the three additional Buildings to be in addition to the $34,000,000 now available for this purpose. Both of these amounts should be authorized as a twenty year bond issue. Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. VOLPE, Governor of the Commonwealth. The message (House, No. 4313) was read by its first and con- cluding paragraphs only, there being no objection; and it was referred by the Speaker, with the accompanying draft of a bill, to the committee on Ways and Means.
