Star Racing Editor

CHARLES TOWN. W. Va,
Feb. l5.-"The racing bill ap-
proved at the recent West Vir-
GINA Legislature virtually re-
moved the power Of the State
Racing Commission to regulate
racing" Obey Hedrick, State
Senator from Fairmont, w. Va,
and steward at the Charles Town
track, said here yesterday.
Hedrick pointed out that the
bill. which must be signed or
vetoed by the Governor by to-
morrow, gives the tracks the
right to demand a hearing on
any ruling issued by the COM
mission and carry protests to
the courts. The State Senator
indicated that there is a pos
sibility that the bill might be
vetoed by the Governor although
it contains a provision for rails
ing the tax on pari-mutuel bet
ting from 13 to IA per cent to
provide the State with approx
imately 100000 additional
revenue.
Stricken from the bill before
1t was approved was a section
which would have given half OF
the breakage from pari-mutuel
wagering to the State, Under
present West Virginia law, the
tracks receive all Of the breakage
This is a Zoable item, as was
demonstrated here Saturday
when the track received total
OF $14,858.07 in breakage or odd
pennies, according to the State
report, Usually breakage aver
a"cs approximately one per cent

number Of short priced horses
