Will Not Loosen 2.75 Till Peace Is Declared. State Is Final Arbiter. WAR BARS ALL BREWING. Public PIvided, but Uolslatlv* Major- ity Demanded Measur* — Fifteen Bound Bouts Only In Hands of Hunted Persons. jm, an y,__Oovernor Alfred E.

A restaurant is described In the measure as a dining room ei- ther by Itself or connected with a club or hotel, with at least 600 square feet of floor space and accommodations for 40 guests. The measure puts the sa- loon out of business, Ih a memorandum filed with his In- dorsement of the measure Governor Smith said: 'This amendment to the law in brief provides for the sale of beer In res- taurants and hotels In cities of the first and. second class and declares beer containing 2,75 per center less of alcohol by weight to be nonintoxl- catlng and further provides for the regulation by the statd of Its sale, put- ting certain taxes upon the license is- sued by the state in each Instance. \In January, 1010, the legislature of 'this state ratified the Eighteenth amendment to the federal Constitu- tion, which amendment was commonly known as the amendment providing for prohibition. One year later the senate and the assembly, under the Identical- leadership, has now declared beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol by weight to be nonintoxlcatlng. Opinion Evenly Divided. \In the opinions of experts laid be- fore me there.is a sharp division of opinion, those declaring It to bo Intox- icating being about equal in number with those declaring it to be nonin- toxlcatlng, and I feel that I am placed In the position of having before me the legislative declaration that such beer Is nonintoxlcatlng. If represen- tative democratic government means anything it surely means that when a substantial majority of both houses makes Its declarations upon a matter of this sort it Is representative of the majority sentiment of the state. \In the absence ot anything con- crete and definite upon which I could predicate reasons for disagreement with the legislative declaration, I feel that this bill should be approved.\ The action of the governor in sign- ing the bill, however, does not mean that New York Is to have her beer soon. War time prohibition Is still In effect and will be until the President Issues a proclamation that the United States Is at peace. Under the war time act it Is illegal to manufacture and sell anywhere In the United States beer or other liquor having more than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol. When peace Is proclaimed by the Pres- ident brewers of this state can then go ahead, and the battle, .can be fought over the meaning of the phrase \con- current legislation\ In the Eighteenth amendment Ring Sport Safeguarded. The> provisions of the boxing bill are to be enforced and carried out by a boxing commission of three members at a salary of $5,000 a year each and traveling expenses, with a clerical force, a secretary at $3,000 a year and four deputies at $25 a day and ex- penses. Fifteen roun*-WSuts are per- mitted. No perspn under eighteen will be allowed to box, and none under six- teen may witness a bout. All clubs and all persons connected with a bout are to be licensed, the fees varying In cities of different sizes. In approving the measure Governor Smith said that, although It had been contended by those who opposed the measure that It would result in abuses which came Into being under previous laws, the present bill was very careful- ly drawn to safeguard the sport from those who would use It for profit only. No license can be issued to any but a bona fide corporation. which shall have given a bond and which must ei- ther own a building or have a lease thereon for a term of not less than one vear. In this respect tiie wivnm* bill differs from the old luw and will have for Its purpose the discourage- ment of fly hy «»K ht organisations, whose control would be In the hands of irresponsible promoters. \The bill was opposed by a very small gron-\ he said, \while on the other ham. bad, the almost unani- mous rapport «f the legtolature and of the American Legion.

The frost con- ditions north of Albany were more fa- vorable, but the principal cause of damage was the heavy truck traffic which the. roads in the southern part of the state are forced to accommo- date. ,* , — ' ' Pavsments Destroyed, \The Boston Post road from New York to the Connecticut line in P6rt Chester has been more damaged this spring than ever before. On this road pavements constructed ot bltumtnous macadam block laid on a concrete foundation have been crushed through and absolutely destroyed by the over- loaded trucks. \The Inability of railroads, due to strikes and other causes, to.care for the freight given them has brought the truck prominently to the front \Anticipating this, the commission requested an appropriation of $10,000.- 000 for maintenance and reconstruc- tion during the present season. ThK we contend, was an economical neces- sity In order to save what value Is left In certain highways which the state has already built \In spite of the warning In our re- port to the legislature and the fact that Governor Smith approved our re- quest for $15,000,000 for maintenance, the legislature appropriated but $7,- 500,000. This sum Is notsufficlent to put our highways In first class shape. But we Intend to expend this money as wisely as possible In reconstruct- ing present Improved roads. \The $10,000,000 relessed by the leg- islature Is that left from the second $50,000,000 bond Issue, and none of It under the law can be spent on recon- struction and repair. \Owing to the few bids received for highway construction and the fact that it is necessary to divert as much labor as possible back to the farms, the commission has been forced to abandon Its 1020 program and to de- fer any further new construction until conditions change for the better. Will Spsnd $8,000,000. \It should be understood, however, that the state has under way approxi- mately $15,000,000 worth of new roads and that we shall spend approximately $8,000,000 on reconstruction and re- pairs, giving a total of $23,000,000 worth of road work, or 225 projects, which we hope to complete during the present season.\ As an evidence that the $7,500,000 appropriated Is to be expended, there has been published an advertisement for the letting of 18 reconstruction contracts and the surface treatment of 20 roads.
