of them. Thomas j. Mavin, OF

5 per cent. upon the gross receipts Of
every corporation or association is to
be paid annually to the comptroller. A
statement announcing the dates of
proposed matches must be filled with
the comptroller, together with a bond
sufficient to insure payment of the per-
centage. Upon complaint Of the comp
troller the governor may cause the at
torney general to vacate the charter
