SPENDING THE TAXES
Sir, —The Main Highways Board having now established its right to administer its own funds, is it not time that totalisator speculators, who have contributed so many millions of pounds to the Consolidated Fund, be allowed the same privilege ? A board could be created and grants could be made to. say, hard-hit racing clubs, jockeys who fail to earn a minimum wages, hospitals, St. Johns, etc. Any surplus remaining should go to reduce tlie present exorbitant levy (I will not call it a tax) and give speculators a
little longer betting life.
