By United Press

By United Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June S.
The various counties of Florida
today faced referendum to decide
whether they want to operate horse
and dog race tracks, after the
house Of representatives joined the
senate in overriding Governor Doyle
E. Carlton veto of the pari-mutuel
bill to legalize betting.
Under the terms of the bill, the
state will receive an estimated an
nual revenue Of between $3,OO0,OOO
and $4,C00,000 from operation of
anticipated tracks, existing or
planned.
A provision of the measure pro-
vides that Is per cent of admis-
sions and 3 per cent of all wagerS
be turned over to the state.
Governor Carlton attacked the
measure on the grounds it put the
state in partnership with legalized
gambling"
Advocates of the bill stressed rae
ing competition ip Havana and
Kentucky, which they claimed de-
prived Florida of much revenue.
