THE EIGHTH DAY 5tate fax pane deadlocked By DEBORAH HOWELL MfaaMpalk Star Staff Writer The Minnesota House-Senate Tax Conference Committee began meeting again today for the eighth day with reports from behind the closed doors sounding like a broken record no agreement, no agreement, no agreement. The eight Conservative members of the conference committee met alone for about 30 minutes before it convened this morning. The two DFL conferees, who were not invited, speculated that the Conservatives might be trying to reach agreement on a tax plan among themselves. Afterward, none of the Conservative conferees would say what they had talked about. The Senate wants to raise state taxea more than the House In order to give more relief from local property taxes than the House proposes.

The conferees spent much of yesterday discussing more state aid to schools and a state takeover of local welfare costs the two main methods lawmakers are considering to provide property tax relief. Coleman said the House plan, which calls for some increase in school aid and a partial welfare takeover, would provide from 6 to 15 percent property tax relief for home owners and business across the state. The 15 percent approaches substantial property tax relief, he said, but the 6 percent does not. He said Minneapolis would get about 8 percent property tax relief and St. Paul about 12 percent under the House plan.
