SLOT MACHINE REVENUE.
Dubuque Makes a Good Thing From
'EhaGa DaYiGena

Dubuque, May 24.-The city is get
ting rich from the slot machine reve-
nue.. In the last ten, months owners
of the slots paid into the city treasury
in the form of license money 5000,
an amount almost sufficient to pay the
expenses of the police department in
the corresponding period.
Each machine played in Dubuque
must be paid for. Twenty dollars a
month is the license exacted here,
while in Kansas City only $50 year
is paid. The administration figures
that if the owners of the machines can
pay $40 a month license, that they
reap much larger sum from the
slots.
The amount paid into the city treas
ury during the fiscal year beginning
August and ending February 30 was
$3.50 In March $500 was paid, in
April $64O and in the present month
| 81 ,O60.
Next to the saloons the slot ma
chimes are the greatest source of reve-
nue. and it isn't likely that their opera
ton will be forbidden.
