With an allotment of $8050 of the share is probably less than that of $64,000,000 appiopriation, Utah's any other stte. it is believed. Idaho fared much better, as did Wyoming and other adjoining states. WASHINGTON, July 18 (U.R) Driving forward in its campaign to transfer workmen from relief rolls to payrolls, the public works administiation today gave nine states the blgnal to go ahead with expenditure of $40,363,948 on highway high-way construction. Out of the $400,000,000 set aside for highway projects throughout the country, expenditure of $166,-532,948 $166,-532,948 in 24 states has been approved. ap-proved.

PROVO FACING BEER PROBLEM Shall Provo soft drink parlors, restnurants ;nd cafes sell 3.2 beer? This question came before a group of local business men at a meeting held here Monday evening, where it was shown that Provo, is losing much valuable trade because these firms cannot supply the demand de-mand for this beverage. The sentiment of fho.se who met to discuss the advisability of selling sell-ing three point' two was that they do not wish to. be placed in the position of violators of the law, and yet much valuable trade is slipping away from Provo because of their refusal to sell beer. The loss of the sale of the beverage itself is notiilng in comparison with the loss sustained through the refusal of the public to buy meals and other merchandise because they cannot be served with beer, those in attendance at-tendance at the meeting explained. In view of these circumstances and the fact that three point two is being quite generally sold in Salt Lake, Ogden and other towns of the stato, places local city and county officials in an awkward position. Especially is thus true since a unanimous verdict was rendered in favor of Grant Davis, regarded as a test case, who was charged with possession. In this case it was shown that three point two is not intoxiating. For this reason, it is pointed, no jury will regard possession or the sale of this beverage as a public offense.

CLARK United Press Staff Correspondent SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 18 (U.P.) Salt Lake restaurant res-taurant men are being forced to act the role of technical bootleggers to protect their business. This situation was brought about partly by the failure of the state legislature to legalize 3.2 beer and partly by the failure of city and county officials to prose cute vendors of the new beverage. Proprietors of Salt Lakes prominent prom-inent cafes, interviewed by the United Press, unanimously agreed that they were forced either to bow to public demand for beer or lose their patrons.

"In order to make an arrest ar-rest we must catch the beer runner run-ner in the act of unloading his cargo." .So today practically all restaurants, restaur-ants, lunch counters, hamburger stands and barbecues were selling beer openly in Salt Lake. They didn't advertise the fact, but served all who asked for beer without with-out question. "Sure you can take it out," one waiter answered an inquirer. "How many, please?" 'The whole thing is a horn in the side to me," one prominent cafe proprietor explained to the United Press. 'T have always run a strictly legitimate business, catering ca-tering to high class trade, but this beer business has made a technical techni-cal bootlegger out of me.

What brand will you have?" Authorities to date have made but few arrests of parties selling 8.2 beei. Date for trial of these cases has boon set far enough ahead to insure some action by the state legislatre now in special session. Beer prices ranged from 20 to 25 cents for 12-ounce bottles.

Stanley Dunford expresses his belief be-lief that t'ne city court erred in its instruction to the jury. The case, which occupied the lower court for almost a week came to a close Monday when t'ne ijury returned n verdict of not guilty alter more than an hour's deliberations. Definition of what constitutes intoxicating liquor under the Utah state law was one of the problems wit'h which the jury had to wrestle. In his instructions the court made it clear that the evidence must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had intoxicating intoxicat-ing liquor in tiis possession. The mere fact that the substance submitted sub-mitted as evidence contained more than one-half of one per cent alcohol alco-hol by volume would not, in the court's opinion, necessarily prove him guilty of possesion of intoxicating intoxi-cating liquor. Not Intoxicating In the absence from the state law of any definition as to what constitutes intoxicating liquor, or at least the ambiguity of the law, the jury had a real task before it.
