STATE TAX ON BIG FIGHT
NOT PAID IS S139,0O0

TRENTON, July 26.-The state
comptroller's department today took
steps to ascertain why the managers
of the Dempsey-Carpentier prize
fight have not paid the state the tax
required under the Hurley boxing
aSt. The act requires that every
boxing contest licensed by the state
must pay a tax of 10 per cent. of
the proceeds into the state treasury;
also hat this tax must be paid with
in t~wenty-four hours. The big fight
took place July 2 but the money has
not yet been received.
1t is reported here that some S10.-
600 of the proceeds of the battle
is unaccounred for, having disap-
pcared. This was brought to light
by trips of Col. Harry B. Salter, of
the comptroller's department to Jer-
sew City to check up the receipts
and tickets. 1t is thought that the
tickets were sold and the money not
turned in.
The total amount due the state is
$3.50. 900. Col. Salter said today that
the price of the tickets to the public
included the federal government
war tax so this had to be deducted
before the 10 per oent tax for this
state could be applied. This makes
the New Jersey receipts less than
might be expected from the gross
receipts of the contest.
When the immense throng at the
ringside is considered it was, of
course. a physical impossibility to
count and check UP the proceeds
and tally all the tickets so as to set
tie with the state within twenty
four hours. However, the managers
have been given lots Of time to pay
UP and State Comptroller Bugbee
will now enforce a settlement.
