The silver blade. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1895-1903, 1899-01-14

Secs. and of the same act
provide the manner of making ap-
plication for such licenses and
how the same are granted and
issued, and are as follows:
Sec. 2. All application for a
license to sell Intoxicating spirit
Gus, malt or fermented liquors to
be drank in, on or about the prem
ises where sold, must be made to
the board of county commission
ers of the county wherein it is pro-
posed to sell such liquors, and
shall be granted by said board as
hereinafter provided.
Sec. 8. Before any license is
issued the applicant shall produce
before said board the receipt Of the
sheriff showing that he has paid
into his hands the amount due for
such license, and execute and de-
liver to said board his bond to the
state of Idaho, which bond shall be
in the penal sum of 81, 900 with at
least two good and sufficient sure
ties, residents and householders or
freeholders of the county, who
shall on oath justify IN donble the
penal sum Of the bond, to be APP
proved by the said board of county
commissioners"
Under these provisions, the APP
plicant for license must produce
before the board of county COM
missioners the receipt of the sher-
if showing that he has paid into
his hands the amount due for such
license. The receipt here referred
to is provided tor in Sec. 1890, Re-
vised Statutes of Idaho, which
section is as follows
"The territorial controller Estate
auditory must prepare and have
printed blank licenses of all classes
mentioned in this chapter for terms
of three, six and twelve months,
and for such shorter terms as are
herein authorized to be issued,
with a blank receipt attached for
the signature of the tax collector
(sheriff) when sold"
These licenses duly signed by
the state auditor and county treas
urer are delivered to the county
auditor who will, after affixing his
official seal thereto and signing
them, deliver them to you in such
quantity as may be desired, taking
your receipt therefor and charging
you Herewith. (Secs. 1631-32-33
Rev. Stat. Idaho.)
Upon the payment to you of the
amount required by law for such
licenses, it is your duty after hav-
ing signed the receipt thereto at
tached for such sum as has been
paid you, to deliver the same to
the applicant, who must then pre-
sent the same to the board of
county commissioners, together
with his bond for their approval.
Any persol engaging in the sale
of intoxicating liquors without hav-
ing first obtained the license in the
manner so required, is doing so in
violation of the law. The license
must be procured first. A mere
receipt for so much money paid
and not attached to formal IL
cense does not authorize a person
to enjoy the privileges which the
license grants. Any person desir-
ing to obtain a license and paving
the tax to the sheriff therefor.
should obtain from the sheriff the
sheriff's receipt provided for by
section 1880 and attached to the
regular license issued to him bv
the county auditor, otherwise
should the sheriff fail to obtain for
him the license for which he has
paid, he is liable to be put to the
expense of having to pay again be-
tore obtaining license, for there
is no question but that he must
have the license before engaging
IN the sale OF intoxicating liquors.
Upon investigation should YOU
Ind that there are any parties en-
gagged in the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in this county, who have
