The reputed plan is based on a sound appraisal of present frayed tempers on Capitol Hill. But it is faced with a serious obstacle. Unless the NIRA is renewed by June 16 it expires automatically.

I do not mean to say that all the trees specified are entirely resistant, because such trees are impossible to find. They are all, however, 2,000 MEN TO GET WORK ON DEER CREEK if Present Progress Rate Is Maintained Work Can Start Soon "Of the $6,500,000 to be spent on the Deer Creek dam proper, about five million dollars dol-lars will be spent for labor," it was estimated Saturday by Elmer A. Jacob, project man- aer, in commenting on some of the recent developments. Approximately 2000 men will be needed on the project, Mr. Jacob estimated. It is believed that it wil lrequire about three years to build, with work on the Duchesne tunnel requiring even longer. Election Planned Mr. Jacob explained the procedure proce-dure necessary to initiate work. According to the present plan, the Provo city commission will pass the ordinance calling for an election on the project, on Monday night. After that it is proposed to test the constitutionality of the measure. If Provo passes the election ordinance or-dinance first, then the city recorder re-corder will refuse to have the ordinance or-dinance published on the grounds that it is unconstitutional. This will be done so the measure can be tested. It is planned to bring the matter before the state supreme su-preme court for action about June 1. Then if the court passes on it favorably, the city can publish the ordinance, which calls for election in ten days. The election will be held about June 15, provided the action of the supreme court is favorable. Then if the popular vote of the city is favorable and the Metro politan Water District is established, estab-lished, work can begin immediate- Building the canyon highway in its new location will be about the first work started. In the opinion of Mr. Jacob. Another early part of the project will be the re-loca tion of the D. &. R. G. railroad line through the canyon to Heber. Clearing the site of the dam is another part of the early work. Some of this may be done by CCC labor. The general site of the dam has been chosen, but the exact situation situa-tion of the dam proper has not yet been determined. Diamond drilling will be necessary to as- certain the nature of the hard pan and sub-soil. According to some reports the lower site, a mile above Wildwood, near Bear canyon, is being favored fav-ored by reclamation engineers over the higher site, near Deer creek. It will be an earth fill dam, so a great deal of shoveling, trucking and such work will be required. Most of the materials for the dam, with the possible exception of lumber and steel, will probably be provided by Utah companies, thus creating more work indirect ly, Mr. Jacob pointed out. B. Y. U.

April 6 (U.R) New Dealers, armed with the new work-relief bill, were ready today to begin spending same at the rate of $11,000,000 a day to put 7,000,000 men back to work. They waited onlv for President Roosevelt to sign the $4,880,000,000 measure and make it law. News that congress had passed the nation's greatest peace-time appropriation was flashed to Mr. Roosevelt aboard the Nourmahal, now in Bahamas waters. He will start home within a day or two to sign the bill. To Announce Aides The president personally will direct expenditure of the huge sum which many expect will remove re-move 14,000,000 to 15,000,000 persons per-sons from relief rolls. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to announce an-nounce shortly the personnel of the organization to handle the "victory drive" against the depression depres-sion and to sound the keynote of the New Deal's mightiest campaign cam-paign for recovery.

It has been estimated another 3.500,000 persons would be absorbed in private pri-vate industry as the result of the federal expenditures. Should that spark of activity catch and spread and the theory of the administration is that it will other thousands and perhaps millions could be placed back in gainful employ.

The federal government has allotted Utah $5,305,000 to be spent on the development of highways, high-ways, roads and streets and $1,-923,000 $1,-923,000 is to be used for elimina-' elimina-' tion of dangerous road crossings. There is $1,250,000 from the agriculture apportionment bill to be used on only true development of federal highways. Added to the federal appropriation appropria-tion is' a state fund of $2,500,000. Utah's total expenditures last year was $6,500,000. Of this sum the state contributed $2,800,000, and the federal appropriation was $4,200,000. Eliminate Crossings In this year's program the state does not have to match any . federal fed-eral fund contributed toward this development. But the fund .will be spent by the Utah state highway department, subject to the approval ap-proval of the federal highway commission. The sum to be used for elimination elimina-tion of dangerous grade crossings, is not necessarily confined to just that. It may be used to eliminate dangerous curves, and build up inadequate underpasses. Utah has 50 such projects ready for workmen, work-men, but the sum will take care of only 20 of them. The entire sum will be divided between new construction; such as labor costs, equipment, etc., maintenance main-tenance of present highways, and the cost of administration. $100,000 LOAN TO BUY LIQUOR SALT LAKE CITY.
