Revenue official cites new tax halting illegal gambling
A federal gambling tax official says the new tax has choked off about 90 percent of the estimated 20 billion dollar illegal gambling business in the United States. He notes most remaining operators are small fry and many “ lifetime gamblers” have closed shop to avoid exposing illegal operations. The FCC also ordered a probe into Western Union telegram use by gamblers, delaying new regulations to May 2 to allow public hearings.

Real estate transfer tax takes effect today across state
The 1951 one percent real estate transfer tax begins today with uncertainty over who pays it. The State Revenue Department plans collection from whoever records the transfer deeds until a court settles the matter. Exceptions include transfers between spouses and parent and child.
