The attention OF merchants, traders and
all Others doing business in Cecil county that
REQUIRES Il license. is called to the advertise
ment Of the Clerk of the Circuit Court rela-
tive to the time in which such licenses can be
issued. Under the recent act OF the Legis-
lature all licenses to run year must be taken
out on the first of May. After the month of
MAY no license can be issued except for the
balance of the year. Hence, if merchant
or trader does not procure his license during
the month OF May. and can only procure it
for June. or for any fractional portion OF
the year. he becomes indictabe by the grand
jury for such portion OF the year no has
omitted to take olt his license. II a mer-
chant neglects to take out his license during
May the Clerk Of the Court cannot antedate
his license for the omitted month, but can
only grant him license for the remainder OF
the year. The new law fixes a penalty of
$50 on the Clerk for antedating licenses
simply because tho State can be defrauded
out Of Il large revenue from licenses ii traders
neglecting TO procure them the first OF May
for the entire year can secure licenses at any
subsequent date and pay for only a fractional
portion of the year.
