Tn. assessor said in opening his
letter TIA; The request for license

the assessor in more complete
assessment Of vending and slot
machines Of various character
which change their location rapid
~. and which are consequently

He urged licenses "on all ma
chimes that yend or sell mer-
chsndise either bv direct delivery
from the machine or by chance,
or BY credit tokens. and also on
all slot machines which operate
by skill or by chance, and which
paw exohangeable merchandise or

Wants Value Given
We would like to have the an
pication for license Identify the

Smith continued. we feel that
we are not getting anything like
complete assessment on this class
Of taxable property.
For Instance, We have about
500 candy and gum machines,
valued at about IS each. whereas
we feel confident that there are
more than double that number in
the city. and this percentage prob
ably applies to most other ma
chimes.

Aluminium Drive
Falls Short
campeisn Nets
II Million Pounds

OWASHINGTON, Sept 24A(R)
The nationwide aluminium col
lection campaign yielded an esti-
mated 11,835,130 pounds of
scrap, Defense officials ANNOUNCE
ed today-a total equivalent to
the amount of aluminium needed
in 1900 fighter planes or $50
four-motored bombers.
The campaign, conducted from
July 81 to 20. fell below Off
Gals expectations, however, for
the OPM had predicted that 49,
100000 to 100000 pounds of
scrap would be collected.
Experts estimated that the net
yield of aluminium from the scrap
would be about 1000, 900 pounds.
The remainder Of the weight re-
presented other materials, pri-
marily iron and steel, which
were attached to the aluminium
articles.
All but $4,000 pounds OF the
scrap has been allocated already
to shelters having Defense pre-
ference ratings. +
The aluminium was sold to the
shelters by the Government and
the funds derived went into the
Treasury. Officials did not dis
close how much was received
for the scrap.
