House Builders Pay
For Saving Gamblers

Some time ago the Argentine gov.
eminent placed a prohibitive tax on
river steamers which were CARRYING
hundreds of Argentinians across the
river to the gambling casino at Col
onia, Uruguay, where many thou
sands of Argentine pesos were left
behind. Deprived of this trade, the
casino closed it's doors.
Finding themselves without this
source of easy revenue, the authori.
ties Of the county of Colonia retail.
ated by putting a tax of cents on
every ton of sand exported, and that
tax has now been raised to 20 cents.
This is in addition to the Uruguayan
national export tax of 10 cents g. ton.
Since all the building sand used in
Buenos Aires comes from Colonia, II
results that because Of the Argentine
governments attempt to save the
gamblers from themselves the unfor-

money In order to build houses now
have to foot the bill
