LIQUOR LICENsEs.-The following is a
letter from State Auditor Mayre to Mr..
Leonard Marbury, Commonwealth AT
torney of this city, in reference to the State
liquor licenses:
COMMoNwEALT OF VIRGINIA,
OFFICE AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS,
RICHMOND, Va, April 3, 1854.
Leonard Mdr6ury, esq, Commonwealth 1T
torneg Alexandria:
DEAR SIR notice in the Alexandra
GAZETTE of April lst, in an article in regard
TO the new license law, the statement that
las the law regarding liquor does not go
into effect until the lst Of May, 1884, the
liquor dealers taking out licenses at the
April term of the court will be exempt from
the operations Of the law
Ia my opinion this statement conveys an
erroneous idea, though perhaps not intend
ed namely, that liquor license can be
taken out at the April term under the old
law which will allow the party receiving 1t
to transact business under it during the
wear from Nav LIST, 1854, to April 30, 1888.
All liquor licenses end April 30, and the
Legislature, having this fact in view, en-
acted that the new liquor law should go
into effect May l5t.
It was unfortunately omitted to be pro-
vided that licenses could be issued at April
term to take effect May lst. Notwithstand-
ing this omission am still inclined to think
that a court may issue license under The
new law at its April term TO SO have effect.
Be this as it may, am satisfied that the
court has not power to grant license at
April term under provisions OF the Old law,
10 run from May 1st ensuing.
Licenses can be granted uuaer the ot0
lar at April term, but such licenses expire
April 30th of same year. In other words
licenses under old law can only he issued to
run until April 30th, instant.
By section 100, page 800, acts lSSl-o2, 1t Is
made the duty Of the court to grant at
March and April court licenses TO take effect
on the succeeding 1st May. This section Is
still in force aud taking this provision IN
connection with the new liquor law, am
inclined to think the court can grant IL
ceuses under the new law nj April term Ia
take effect May LIST. Yours truly,
Morton MARYE,
Auditor Public Accounts.
