By W. C. GREEN Speaking before Ludington Rotary Club Thursday evening, William Dennison, secretary of Michigan State Association of Supervisors, voiced opposition to Gov. Romney's fiscal reform program. Dennison informed the group, which included Mason county supervisors who had been invited as guests, that all of the bills relating to this reform program had been reported to the floor of the state senate Thursday afternoon and were up for discussion.

He predicted, that the pressure from the governor's "front office" would be applied to the state house of representatives to report all bills to the floor of that body today. Tax Relief Legislation Dennison stated that the bills the state debt is now reduced and he predicted that "we can end up next June 30th with 40 to 100 million in the black with the continuing rise in the state's economy." The governor, he said, wants to change the fiscal program while the state has "a pocketful of money," but, said Dennison, "you don't go to the bank to borrow while you have enough money." He reminded the group that there is nothing in the bills proposed that cut off some of the taxes, now being levied, that says they cannot be put back, or nothing in the bill on income tax that says the rate could not be raised. Other Reform Bills Mr. Dennison also called to the attention of the group to a number of other bills which in were "really only taking money his opinion took more and more out of one pocket to be replaced with money from another." Among the bills of a tax relief nature were the following: 1. Senior citizen tax deferment.

In this bill, he said; any citizen over 65 years of age could get a tax deferral bu this deferment would be a lien against the property and, upon the death of the propertj owner, the state would colleci the back taxes, plus interesi charges accrued. 2. Exemption of food from sales tax. 3. Repeal of the business activity tax.

4. Improvement of the corporation franchise fee system. 5. Exemption of prescription drugs from sales tax. 6.

Reform in the school tax. 7. Reduction of the tax on Michigan breweries. 8. tax.

Repeal of the intangible These bills, he said, were supposed to amount to a tax cut of $306 million. Proposed New Taxes However, he informed the club, to take the place of these cuts there would be: 1. A 2 per cent personal income tax with a flat $600 exemption per person. This would raise an estimated 216 million dollars. 2.

A 3 per cent corporate tax. This would raise 81 million 3. A financial institution tax which would raise about 9 million. These new taxes, would then be replacing the 306 million tax cut. Mr.

Dennison related how weather report; Highest temperature Thursday 84, lowest 56. Highest temperature one year ago today 68, lowest 46. Highest temperature this date since 1872, 83 in 1950, lowers 28 in 1952. The sun sets today at 5:47 p.m. and rises Saturday at 6:50 a.m.

Among these was one to make mandatory, the establishment of a Tax Equalization Department in all counties having valuation of over $25 million. He commented about the extreme shortage of personnel to staff such departments. Another bill was to establish assessment departments in counties and also county boards of reviews.

This bill would abolish the present system of supervisors as assessors. One other bill would allow the state tax commission to appoint an assessing firm to make assessments in all cities and townships where the supervisor or assessor had not passed a state test to be certified. The cost of such an assessing firm would be passed on to the township or city by a special tax levy. Dennison closed his talk by stating, that "in the beginning Potluck Supper Precedes Meeting A recent meeting of Friendship Class of Grace Chilrch of Summit at the home of Mrs. Nettie Bailey followed a co-operative dinner.
