Show What the Law Says. Toquerville, Utah,-February 11, 1898. David H. Morris, Esq.: "There is a wide diversity of opinion on the present liquor law of Utah, some contending that the wine producer has a legal right to sell his own products in any quantities, others say that he can only sell in five gallon lots, still others affirm af-firm that any sale of intoxicating liquors liq-uors without a license is unlawful. Would you kindly insert in our County Paper a slight notice giving the status of wine sellers." Yours truly, H. S. Crosby. Sec. 1212, Revised Statutes of Utah, reads as follows: "No person shall manufacture, sell, barted, deal out, or otherwise dispose of any spirituous-, vinous, malt, or other intoxicating liquors, without first obtaining ob-taining from the board of county commissioners com-missioners of the county, or city council of the city, or board of trustees of the town in which he intends to do business, busi-ness, a license therefore as hereinafter provided.'' See. 1256. "No provision of this I title shall be so construed as to prohibit vine growers, without a j license, from expressing and selling on. : the premises where expressed the pure juices of the grape, in quantities of not j less than five gallons, to one person at one time: provided, that where any ', municipal corporation has the right in its character to prohibit the manufacture, manufac-ture, sale, or other disposal of spirit- ; nous-, vinous, and malt Liquors, nothing in this title shall be so construed as to impair such rights." Under our Statutes any vine grower can lawfully express and sell on the premises whore expressed wine in any quantity not less than five gallons to one1 person at one time without a license. n.
