pre- filed in Albany by Senators
Edward J. Speno and Henry M.
Curran, two of the legislators

bills would name additional
outlets for the purchase of the
tickets, while the sixth would

We, who are representative of the many
f i r e - f i g h t e r s who have known and served

departments that he has been connected
w i t h , endorse him wholeheartedly for Fire
Commissioner.
We know his deep dedication to the f i re

efficiency will do much to increase relations
between the residents, the Board of Fire
Commissioners, and the many civic and
governmental agencies that this district
comes in contact with.

companies, savings banks, state-chartered
savings and loan associations,

branches of foreign banks, industrial
banks, national banking
associations, hotels, motels and
municipalities have been permitted
to sell the tickets. A
recent law passed in Congress
forbids federally chartered banks
from selling lottery tickets.
A ticket sales breakdown shows
that since the lottery's inception
in June revenues are less than
25% of expectation with June
sales totaling $ 6,447,605; July,
$ 4,125,198; August, $ 5,987,201;
September $ 5,795,842; and October,
$ 6,021,395 More than
55% of the proceeds is earmarked
for education.
