Excerpts from CHARLES COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (Proceedings) [MSA T3221][JH, 08/17/01;]
"Slot Machines Banned at Piers In Virginia," St. Mary's Beacon, March 6, 1958 [MSA SC 2841, M2244] Article is difficult to read, due to poor film, but states "St. Mary's County will loose the tax revenue from five machines at Cole's Point Tavern," and that "Charles County is hit much harder. Virginia has three piers at Colonial Beach...two other piers, and a ship off Freestone Point." [JH 8/28/01]
