MONTPELIER The Senate gave its approval on a voice vote Friday morning to the res cause it has already been ear MONTPELIER Democratic Gov; Hoff called on the Republican controlled Vermont Legislature Friday to take a long, hard look at state spending and revenue measures to avoid "a deliberate and unnecessary olution designed to extend the life of the 1965 "Suicide Legis NT lature" beyond its June 30 date "disquieting signs that the General Assembly is unwilling to raise sufficient revenue to balance the expenditures it is authorizing." Such action, said the governor, violates Vermont's tradition of balanced budgets and "every principle of sound fiscal management in state affairs." He warned such action could for dissolution and to 1967. The House passed measure was whipped through the Sen ate after only brief debate, and program of deficit financing." In an unusual special message delivered to the Legislature, Hoff warned the legislators they are exceeding tiisj marked for educational purposes. He also warned against efforts to make more optimistic estimates of future state revenues on the basis of the booming economy. Hoff said the estimates have already been "increased to the limit of reasonable expectation."

He said the major problem Is increased spending by the Legislature coupled with The House Ways and Means Sen. George R.

McGregor, D-Chittcnden, urged passage of the resolution with the argument that "the Supreme Court doesn't have grow and to prosper and he said there is a danger the state may return to a deficit just at the time it is emerging from a 10-year period of red ink. Hoff said the state's economy is booming and Vermont can afford to pay for necessary new programs and reasonable increases in state operations. The governor noted that he had submitted a record $93.9 million general fund budget for the next two years an increase of 25 per cent in state spending.

Emory Hebard, R-Glov-er, defended the Education Committee's proposal saying, "since the Democrats and Hoff Republicans are bound and determined to raise more taxes, let's send it (the extra revenue) back to the towns in the form of state aid to education." Mrs. LaDeau asked the House members to decide whether the extra burden for increased school spending "should be carried at the local level or at the state level." The House defeated the LaDeau amendment on a 125-91 'roll call vote, adopted the Appropriation's amendment, passed the bill and messaged it to the Senate. Vermont Senate Rep. Christine B.

It won quick preliminary approval.

Final approval was given to the bill that would provide bonuses to some needy communities under an equalization incentive program similar to the equalized state aid to education law. That bill carries a $500,000 price tag. Sen. Douglaa Kitchel, R-Cale-donia, a member of the State Water Resources Board, told the Senate that completion of pending projects would mean about 75 per cent of Vermont would be covered by sewage treatment facilities. He said 11 plants have already been completed.

Of those he said, only two in St. Albans and in Randolphwould qualify for a state aid "bonus" under a retroactive clause in the Incentive bill. Uiider present law, a community pays 50 per cent of the cost of sewage treatment projects, the federal government pays 30 per cent and the state adds the final 20 per cent. Under the incentive plan, the state payment could as high as 45 per cent, depending on the community's ability to pay. In no event would the community pay less than 25 per cent of the cost of the project.

Kitchel estimated about 10 committee's decision to add another million dollars a year. She told the House that three pieces of legislation already approved will cost local school districts $1.4 million more in the first year of the biennium than they're spending now. She said the teachers' pay bill will cost local school districts the change in EARNS Court to permit legislators to serve to 1967.

The House approved the amendments offered by appropriations committee over a proposal by the House Education Committee which would have added another $1 million a year.
