Loss of revenue from prohibition in Texas stated
Texas officials estimate that banning saloons under statutory prohibition will cost the state about 700000 dollars annually in general revenue, with similar losses for cities and counties. The figure may be offset slightly by new inheritance tax and occupation taxes on pool halls, per Supreme Court rulings. A Zionist relief unit of 41 medical staff and specialists plans to depart for Palestine to assist in establishing a Jewish administration there.
