PASSAGE SURE,
"B00KIE" BILL
NEAR VOTE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April S.
The House Of Delegates today
stood ready to enact a measure
that would legalize bookmaking
in Baltimore city and six counties
Of Maryland, including Primo e
Georges.
The bookie measure is incorpo-
rated in an omnibus tax bill to
raise 5000, 900 each year for re-
lief. 1t passed the Senate Sunday
morning.
Delegate Kent r. Mullikin of
Prince George, majority floor
leader, said today he was ready
to bring the measure out Of the
ways and means committee at any
time. It will receive a favorable
report in that committee and
there is no determined opposition
on the floor, at this time.
Opponents of the move in the
Senate succeeded in killing it in
the Senate, but when it was
learned they had also killed the
entire relief measure by their vote,
they reconsidered and passed the
bill. AS Governor Harry w. Nice
suggested legalized bookmaking in
his annual message as one of the
means of raising relief money, it
is believed he will sign the bill as
soon as it is presented to him.
After coming out OF ways and
means committee today, it is ex-
pected the bill will be damned
through the House under Suspen-
sion of the rules. 1t is estimated
the bookies will pay into the State
treasury 100000 annually. The
bill fixes a license fee of $1,000
annually and takes / per cent of
the bets wagered for the State. In
addition Prince Georges county,
alone would get an additional
fee Of $4,000 annually for any
licensed bookie in that county.
This money would be turned over
to the county commissioners.

directed to the Thirty-fourth

which has recently been leased
by them from Alexander

1t was the first large party
given by this popular diplo-

our way up the stairway
which was bordered with age
