68-34). THURSDAY. MAY 23, 1968 Legislature met pursuant to adjournment. President Courtney in the Chair. Comn.

No. 309 1 Rochester Bureau of Municipal Re ALBANY Starting tomorrow you'll pay the state a penny more a gallon for gasoline and two cents more a pack for cigarettes. If you smoke a pack a day, the new tax will cost you $7.30 a year; if you drive 15,000 miles a year you'll pay the state about $10 more annually. And if you are one of those 250,000 persons with a taxable income above $17,000 you'll be paying the state more income tax too $2,500 a year more if you've got a wife and two kids and you earn $100,000 a year. Its all part of the new $147 million tax increase passed by the Legislature this session.

The cigarette and gasoline taxes, expected to bring in $25 million and $27 million, respectively, go into effect tomorrow. The income tax increase, which only affects persons with taxable incomes over $17,000 a year (with a wife and two children your taxable income will total about $17,000 if your actual income is about $23,500) is retroactive to January. And since employers have not been collecting the additional withholding tax from the persons affected by the new law, payment of a much higher tax chunk will be required from high-income persons next April 15. The new cigarette tax raises the state's take from smokers from 10 to 12 cents a pack. The U.S.

government has an 8-cent-a-pack tax on cigarettes and your local and state sales taxes also help to make up the high cost of smoking. Smokers in New York City have it even worse there the city imposes an additional four-cent cigarette tax atop all the other tax bites. The new gasoline tax which does not apply to diesel fuel raises the state's take from six to seven cents a gallon. The federal government also charges a four-cent-a-gal-lon tax. The income tax increase works like this: If your taxable income is $15,000 to $16,999 you continue to pay 10 per cent in state tax.

Formerly 10 per cent was the income tax ceiling. If your taxable income is: $17,000 to $18,999 you pay 11 per cent. $19,000 to $20,999, 12 per cent. $21,000 to $22,999, 13 per cent. $23,000 and over, 14 per cent.

The man earning $24,000 a year, who has a wife and two children, has a taxable income of about $18,000 and last year paid about $1,135 in state income tax. Under the new bracket computation system he'll pay $1,145 an increase of $10, according to the State Tax Department. If the same man earns $30,000 a year his taxable income would be about $23,100 and he would pay $124 more in taxes for a total next year of about $1,769. The man who earns $100,000 who has an $82,600 taxable income would pay about $10,099 in state taxes under the new brackets (more than 10 per cent of his income) instead of the $7,595 paid this year. search, Inc.

If the estimate is valid, it means that the population of New York's Chinatown will double in two years. A similar but less rapid population surge is occurring in Chinatowns in Los Angeles and San Francisco, but the New York situation is complicated by the already-high population density of the surrounding area. Besides doubling up with friends and relatives who have been in Chinatown a generation or more, many of the immigrants are spilling into adjacent Little Italy, which in recent years has been heavily populated by Puerto Ricans.
