Hdrriman Approves Bill To Reduce State Income Tax ALBANY, N. Y. Ml Gov Averell Harriman approved Friday a bill reducing the state tax on 1955 personal incomes by 40 million dollars. Harriman's action was somewhat of a surprise in the light of his sharp attacks on the Republican measure as favoring the upper brackets. The bill gives a 15 per cent reduction on the first $100 of tax due and 10 per cent on the next $200.

The maximum cut is $35. New York collects about 400 million dollars of its lar annual income through thej personal income tax. The present rate is on a grad-j uated scale ranging from two per cent on the first $1,000 of taxable income and up to seven per cent. Exemptions include $1,000 for a single person, $2,500 for couple and $100 for each additional dependent. Some scientists believe if the annual average temperature of the earth were raised one degree, arc-j tic and antarctic ice would melt enough to raise the level of the oceans as much as 50 feet.
