Whenever a license shall be lost or\ndestroyed without fault on the part of the licensee or his agents or\nemployees, a duplicate license in lieu thereof may be issued by the\nliquor authority in its discretion and in accordance with such rules and\nregulations and the payment of such fees, not exceeding five dollars, as\nit may prescribe.\n
