Poughkeepsie Journal Photo by Robert V. Niles Legislators Face Budget, New Reapportionment Plan ALBANY, N.Y.

(AP) York's legislators headed today into a busy week in which they'll get Gov. Rockefeller's proposed budget and a plan to restructure the state's 41 congressional districts. Rockefeller will reveal to a the no-tax, election year budget joint session tomorrow 1 details of recommendation, designed to carry out the legislative program outlined in his "State of the State" message 7. The proposed budget is pected to be in excess of 7 billion, a record. But Rockefeller has said he believes income from the state's natural growth will provide the balance required by the state constitution.

The reapportionment plan could be revealed today. Its Republican architects put the finishing touches on it last week and said they were prepared to report it out today or tomorrow for a vote later in the week. The legislative committee was working against a Jan, 30 deadline to redraw the congressional districts to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court requirement for a "one-man, one-vote" form of representation. In New York State, this should mean districts of 410,000 population.

Some districts, notably those on Long Island and in Manhattan and The Bronx, are well under this level and others are well above it. Bell Seeks Uniform Tax Maps ALBANY- Assemblyman H. Clark Bell (R-Ulster) has introduced bills asking for uniform tax maps for all New York State counties, mandatory training for assessors, and systematic reappraisal of each parcel of land on tax maps at least once every four years. Bell's proposed legislation calls for the state to pay for setting up the new system of tax maps while the counties pay maintenance and operation costs thereafter. Bell said the need is long overdue for establishing statewide uniform real estate taxing procedures and methods administered by trained personnel on a systematic, orderly, and equitable basis.

Interment Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery. Friends will be recelved Monday and Tuesday nings from 7-9. The district having the most excessive -is one in Buffalo represented by Thaddeus J. Dulski, a Democrat. While the legislators redrawing the congressional lines worked behind closed doors, enough detail leaked out that became known some incumbent congressmen would be thrown into the same districts.

Among these are Reps. Daniel Button, a Republican, and Samuel S. Stratton, a Democrat. The redrawn congressional districts will be used in the November election. Rockefeller and all state legislators will be seeking re election in the November election and this was a major reason the governor's no- -tax budget had been expected.

The 1969-70 budget was $6.4 billion and a 70-71 budget in excess of 7 billion could mean an increase of 14 per cent. It would appear, then, that the Republican governor is banking on continued growth in the economy under a Republican administration in Washington. Among other things, growth would be reflected in the state's personal income tax and the three per cent sales tax. Rockefeller frequently has expressed great faith in the soundness of New York's broadbased and diversified business enterprises. A major part of his budget expected to deal with increases in aid to education.

He already has committed himself to an ditional $300 million to schools in the next school This falls short, however, the $395 million recommendation of the chairman of the legislature's study committee education, and the $795 million demand of Democrat minority leaders. Rockefeller also has proposed an extra $136 million for welfare to pay for increases in cost of living. Welfare spending is pegged at just under $1 lion for the current fiscal year.
