Issue The House reversed itself yester- day afternoon on the employer’s ex-, perience rating credits bill. The bill to eliminate -the credits from the unemployment compensa- tion law was defeated 13 to 10 at noontime. Within an hour after the after- noon session started, it was passed on reconsideration by a 14 to 9 vote. The bill, by Rep. Alfred Owen, Jr., now goes to the Senate. The credits on the unemployment compensation payments of employ- ers were estimated at $1,200,000 for the current year. Representatives of employers were keenly interested in the big stakes at issue in the House maneuvering. The credits, which are in the form of a reduction in the next! year’s unemployment compensation as an amendment to the new gen- eral property tax bill, seeking a lower levy on Loats. It proposes to allow boat owners the alternative of . paying on a $4 per ton basis. The isame proposal was made while the bill was under consideration in the Senate.
