I) Income tax which would have the levy expire automatically next June 30.

The measure was sent to the Senate where it will be put up for a vote Dec. 15, Senate President Matthew Feldman said. "I don't have 21 votes in my pocket," Feldman told reporters but described himself as sponsored the bill. Two Republicans, Assemblymen Robert Littell of Sussex and Howard Kupperman of Atlantic, supported the repealer, which passed by the minimum margin needed for approval. Littell was one of two Republicans who voted for the tax last year.

The other was the repeal bill a scant 10 minutes for debate and saw the last vote needed to pass it go up on the tally board 10 minutes later. The repeal would make permanent the 2 percent to 2.5 percent tax on gross income. "The people have told us that they want it," said Assemblyman Francis Gorman, D-Camden, who "cautiously optimistic" about the chance for final passage of the self-destruct repeal in the Senate.

At (APTJ Laserphoto) Hispanics Rap Handling of CDP By RANDOLPH BRANDT A group of Hispanic residents raised some old charges and leveled a few new ones last night as the city administration came under stinging criticism for Its alleged mishandling of Vineland'i federally funded Community De night's second public hearing on the city's fourth year CDP budget. Although the meeting was called to hear community suggestions on how this year's $1.2 million in CDP aid should be spent, most of the session was taken up by spokesmen who complained about past allocations. lin: By LINDA LEON The Vineland Board of Education last night adopted a tentative 1978-79 school year budget of $21,036,970, which reflects an increase of $1,931,357 over the current school year's budget. Most of the increase, according to school officials, represents expenditures mandated by the state.

The amount to be raised by local taxes in the new budget is $7,812,208, up $592,697 over the amount raised locally for the current school year. The amount to be raised by taxes represents 37 per cent of the total budget. Unless the increase in the amount to be raised by local taxation is offset by a corresponding jump in Vineland's tax ra-tables, property owners most likely will pay a higher school tax rate next year. Approxiamtely 52 per cent of the total pudget will be funded by $10,961,288 allocated in state funds, an increase of $1,077,686 over the amount paid to the district for the 1977-78 school year. "I think the most significant fact that the people of Vineland should knowBoard President Francis A.

Gana said, "is that our state aid exceeds 50 per cent. The taxpayers in Vineland are paying less than half the cost to operate our schools." Federal funds allocated to the school district for the 1978-79 school year increased $285,974 to $1,588,474. "This is a realistic and conservative budget," Gana said' "If you study the budget in detail, you can see that a major part of the increase reflects state mandates. "This budget meets the minimum needs of the district, not the maximum I want to stress that," Gana added. The 1978-79 school budget Includes $1,417,000 for transportation, $145,664 more than last year's budget.

According to Dr. Anthony R. Catrambone, superintendent of schools, this will include replacing 16 school buses and adding six new buses to the school district's fleet. Willingboro Firm Eyes City for TV Station The district is being forced to replace the 16 buses because of a state law passed last year which requires buses to be replaced when they are 10 years old. The total amount anticipated in the new budget for instruction totals $11,712,102, or $1,082,653 over the amount appropriated in (Continued on Page 3, Col.
