Of 10 per cent Is applied to bets.
The question was raised as to
how the tax applies to the op-

Held: A wager Is an amount
risked on an uncertain event.
Therefore the tax on wagers is
applicable to the amount ac-

MARYLAND Unit Revives
River Bend Dam Plan

Maryland's State legislative
committee on the Potomac River
today asked the Army Engineer
Corps if its 1916 plans to build
a multiple purpose dam at River
Bend are still practicable.
The request for the informa-
ton was prompted by Leland
Olds, former Federal Power
Commissioner, who last Monday
urged the committee to support
development of the proposed
dam for electric power as well
as other uses.
Mr.. Olds estimated that pub
lie power generated from a n.y.
dro-electric plant at River Bend
would save rural electrical CO.
operatives in Southern Maryland
and on the Eastern Shore about
$375,0O0 a year in power acqui-
sition costs.
The Washington District En-
gineer of the Army Engineer
Corps in 1916 recommended
with detailed preliminary plans
a River Bend structure outfittec
initially with three 30.000-kilo-
watt generators. The dam also
was designed to have water sup
ply. flood control and other
benefits.
The plan was scotcned largel.
by private power and conserva'
ton interests. The engineer
now are undertaking an ex'
hauStive review Of the 194l
report which applies to the en-
tire Potomac basin.

Hervey Macnen, delegate from
Prince Georges County and
chairman of the Legislative
Committee, said his group is
making its inquiry to avoid TN
necessary delays in launching
a basin Development program.
He said there has been wide
spread acceptance Of the River
Bend dam idea as a water stor-
age and flood control project.
He added that while the COM
mittee has no wish to impede
development of the river for ben
eft Of the maximum number of
people the legislative group is
anxious to give its support to
any feasible early development
project.
Mr.. Olds has told the commit
tee that hydro-electric power
generation at River Bend would
not interfere with plans by Poto-
mac Electric Power Co. to build
its own private generating plant
on the Potomac few miles up
stream near the mouth of the
Monocacy River. He conceded.
however. that the Riven Bend
plant, which would be built by
the Army Engineers. would be in
competition with PEPCO.
\ Mr.. Machen said his commit
tee has tentative plans to meet
with PEPCO officials December
3 for their reaction to a River
Bend dam as well as their ideas
on development of the Potomac
generally.
