Fulton, Supervisor, Town of Wappinger 18 Park St. Wappingers Falls, N.Y. As you know, your town is eligible to sell State Lottery Tickets. New proceeds go to education with 36-2/3 cents of every dollar ticket sold returned to localities for educational purposes. It is important that every community in the state support this revenue program and that every ticket outlet available under the law .be utiliz-ed. I urge you to apply for a license to sell lottery tickets by night letter to Ernest T. Bird, Director, Division of the Lottery, Building No. 9, State Campus, Albany, New York or by Phoning him Collect at area code 518—GIL-7-2497. Licensed outlet agents receive 5 cents for each ticket sold. Joseph H. Murphy, Commissioner of Taxation and Finance Mr. Fulton: I didn't act on this as I wanted the Board's -opinion. Is it the Board's pleasure that we get a license and sell lottery tickets? What other agencys sell them in this area, does the post office? Mr. Bulger: The bank next door' does. Mr. Fulton: As I understand from reading some literature tha general feeling is ' Q the whole program hasn't been given a fair shake. Many pla4es haven't taken their licenses out. Mr. Bulger: The program is established and is designed for one of the sources for the Budget this year and since this Town can receive an income by being an agent for these tickets since the lottery has been approved by the people in a referendum, I would therefore move that this Town take advantage of the ()filer from Mr. Murphy and avail itself the opportunity of becoming an agent for the sale of State Lottery Tickets.
