That (Continued On Page Four) CLEANING WORK ON . , CANAL SLOWED BY PRESENT WEATHER RESOLUTION LIQUOR CHANGES Request County Legislators To Support Bill In Revised Form City governmental heads met at the city hall here early this week in a regular session, passing a resolution favoring the amending of the present state liquor set-udiscussing angles of a legal action and undertaking routine business matters of a minor nature. Slated for Carbon countys representation in the Utah state legislature, a resolution was drawn up and passed by the council with the request that this countys two representatives and one senator lend their support to its official adoption. Titled Senate Bill number 37, it deals with the handling of light beer in the state and is in confirmity with the resolution adopted by the state municipal league during their meeting in August of last year. The amended bill would grant cities the right to license, tax, regulate and prohibit venders of light beer within the corporate limits of cities and grant the board of county commissioners in the separate counties the same rights outside the limits of cities and towns. In reviving the legal action on the Bryner case, the council authorized City Attorney Frank Hanson to secure an unbiased outside opinion and submit a return to the council. Definite action will be withheld pending the return of the report. The hospital report was not received and will not be reaedy until next month.

Snows, covering the waterway hamper the movements, and although the S. C. S. is using around 100 C. C. C. workers, advancement is slow. The workers were used for only three days last week and a similar number this week, it was stated. It is the plan to open a rock quarry in the Gordon Creek section to provide rock for the walls and reinforcements. The S. C.

I am proud to participate in the sending of this personal greeting to you, and thereby help in the fight against infantile paralysis to which you have given such notable leadership. Signatures from every city, town, and hamlet, will be mailed to New York, where they will be bound into what probably will be the greatest birthday greetings in history. One hundred percent of the money will be turned over to the National Birthday Ball committee, which will arrange for proper credit for each community. A CONSOLIDATION CARBON COUNTY, UTAH, THURSDAY.

The amount which this county i has been called upon to contribute to- ward the fund to aid those unfortun-- , ates is comparatively small, it is a sum which should must be secured in a short time in order that its value may be taken advantage of early in easing the n sufferings of the residents of the section. People of this district know full well the meaning of disaster, have had concrete demonstrations of how a catastrophe can and does strike with devatsing results in the way of taking lives and destroying property. The cry. of distress of the people of the flooded area is not to be considered of a sectional nature, it is a plea for aid to humanity which must be answered in a material way by those of us who are more favorably situated. The response must be immediate flood-stricke- and generous. Carbon county has heard that call. This community will respond with such pronounced action that the areas quota will be easily attained. Let us put this emergency drive over with a spirit of joy, happiness generated by knowledge that contributing in this instance is directly for suffering human beings whose condition has been brought about through circumstances over which they had no control.

He outlined the progress during the past three years in sales promotion and advertising, and pledged his company to support local dealers with advertising and promotion. He pointed out that the home market for 1937 is expanding, and indicated several encouraging factors which will contribute to a prosperous year in all lines of business. Mr. Baldwin emphasized the downward trend in the cost of electrical service, which would favorably affect the sale of electrical goods. t, Remarks were made by D. D. sales manager of the company. W. E. Fleetwood, manager of the Provo division, spoke briefly to the group, as did Mrs. Jean Neldon, of the home service department. Local Manager George W. Leatham had charge of the meeting.

WIRE THEFT CASE RETURNED BY JURY A jury of seven men and one woman late yesterday evening exonerated one man and found another guilty as charged, in the major criminal action Monday through district court here this week. Alex Cowan was freed of grand larceny charges while his companion, Ray Burns, was found guilty, after the deliberations of approximately six hours. Sentence was scheduled to have been pronounced on Burns at 2 p. m. this afternoon, it was stated, by presiding Judge George Christensen. The verdict warranted some surprise as the states witnesses in their testimony appeared to list Cowan as the person who sold the allegedly stolen copper wire, for which theft the two were tried. Neither Cowan nor Bums were placed on the stand during the trial although the defense, headed by James Braffet, employed six witnesses. Both the state and the defense rested their cases yesterday afternoon.

Among the main purposes of the organizations existence, will be the and harfostering of mony, indulgence in civic activities, and social sponsor bands, drum-corfunctions and render support to the local Legionnaires in their programs. ps Assisting Daugherty in this work are William H. Toy and Lloyd Perigo. Urge Attendance All boys whose fathers are members of the Price post, desirous of participating, are urged to attend this meeting. There is no age limit, although once the unit is organized, several classes may be maintained. This club would be one of several hundred now in operation throughout the entire country and would be under the Utah department of the Legion. Figures compiled last year revealed that at the close of 1935 there were 1751 Squadrons with more than 42,390 members.

Daugherty expected to secure more details during the next week and would have them available for next Saturdays meeting. |
