Bagnall, Fund president. Presently before the California Legislature, Senate Bill 393, if passed, would limit the assessment of motion pictures to the negatives and prints themselves, and no intangible values would be included in the assessment. As of now the entire production cost of all exposed motion picture and television negatives on hand in California as of March 1 are subject to the inventory tax. It was resolved by the MP & TRF Board that the Legislature and the Governor of California be urgently requested to enact Bill 393 in order to aid the economy of the State of California which has relied on revenues from the Hollywood film industry over the past many years. “The inventory tax has become an unjust burden for motion picture and TV production to carry in California,” stated Bagnall. “Because of it, production companies are forced to schedule production so as to avoid the March assessment date, causing hiatus in production and creating additional problems for motion picture companies wishing to film in California.” In order to induce a more orderly schedule of motion pictures, eliminate delays in productions, increase year-round employment in Hollywood, encourage increased picture producton in California, and materially aid in the preservation of California’s motion picture and television industry, the Fund’s Board of Trustees requested the Legislature and the Governor of California to enact the Senate Bill. Copies of the resolution, signed by Bagnall and William T. Kirk, executive director of the Fund, have been sent to all members of the Assembly of the State of California and to Governor Ronald Reagan. * * * wanted...# Pictures with Cap t i on s,s to rie s, STUDIO Magazine Mailing address: Drawer M, Sherman Oaks, JET TRIP — Actor Jim Boles, his sister Mrs. Mary Ann Addison, son Eric Boles and nephew John Chiarkas, from left, are ready to board American Airlines jet for flight east.
