Legislative matters have concerned Mas·
sachusetts operators considerably in the
last month or two. Some proposed legisla-
tion has to do with cigarettes. A hearing
was held at the State House before th e
Taxation Committee on House Bill No. 843,
which provides for a tax of 3 cents a
package on cigarettes and would make the
temporary cigarette tax bill which expires
June 30 into a permanent tax measure. The
vending machine licenses, which, under the
present temporary law in force now, are
$20 per operator and $1 per machine are
proposed to be raised in the new bill to
$100 per operator, with the machine li-
cense remaining at the same figure. The
bill is still in th e hands of the committee
at this writing (April 9) .
The Massachusetts Cigarette Operators'
Assn. favors the 100 license bill, hoping
to keep out undesirable competition, but
the small operators objected to the big li-
cense fee, preferring to have the license
figure kept at $20.
Another bill pending, S345, sponsored
by Senator Leo Sullivan, provides for a

tax of $25 on all coin machines in Massa-
cbusetts, exempting music boxes, candy,
gum, pean ut, and postage machines. At a
hearing, Arthur Ravreby, representing the
Massachusetts Amusement and Merchandis·
ing Machine Operators, spoke against the
bill, pointing out that a large number of
coin machines would be legislated out of
existence, due to the tax. These would in-
clude penny scales, cookie, sandwich, mu-
toscope, and numerous other machines.
Ravreby is head of A. A. Ravreby Products
Co.
At this hearing appeared also representa-
tives of the New England Telephone &
Telegraph Co., the Boston Consolidated
Gas Co., and the Boston Elevated Railway.
These utility representatives pointed out
the broad scope which even included them
and asked the ponsors of the bill to amend
it, to which request the sponsors agreed.
The cigarette machine operators asked
for exemption of their machines from the
$25 tax whi ch was in conflict with a bill
previously presented and the sponsors
agreed to amend the bill.
A representative of Arthur H. DuGrenier,
Inc., Haverhill, asked that cigar machine
be exempted and that was agreed upon.
Exemption of these machines left pin
games and Arcade equipment, but due to
the opposition shown to the bill, it seems
probable that the proposed measure will
not be approved by the Taxation Commit-
tee at the current legislative session.
It is considered absolutely necessary for
the operators of all types of machines in
Massachusetts to be on the alert for new
legislative bills concerning coin machines
and present organized opposition whenever
th ey come up.
Jack Ravreby, of the Owl Mint Machine
Co., Inc., is happy to announce that he has
become owner of thi s company. He retains
th e title of pre ident and treasurer. He
says: "We are maintaining our regular

ten dealers the first week, accused of sell-
