Attorney DuvaII's Opinion.

Attorney Duvall. in a lengthy opinion,
Informed the Commissioners Of the mean
ing of the law, and concerning the right
Of the Commissioners to grant SPECIAL
privileges to clubs he said:
Il am of the opinion, however, that a
license to an incorporated club can be and
should be granted only to bona tide
club, and that such license does not per Sc
authorize the sale of liquors between 12
o'clock midnight and 4 o'clock in the
morning, but that the excise board may, in
its discretion grant a permit for such
sale designating such hours in such per-
NIT, and without such permit so desig-
mating such hours such sale is not permit
ted"
Prosecuting Attorney Push is of the opIn-
ion that the excise board is not empowered
to grant permits covering Sundays. or be-
tween midnight and M. and unless case
Is taken into court there can be no final set
tement of the question. The law under
ch licenses are granted says that intox-
icatng liquors shall not be sold between
midnight and 4 O'Clock in the morning, dur
ing which last named hours and on Sundays
every bar room and other place where in
toxicating liquors are sold shall be kept
closed and no intoxicating liquor sold.
Incorporated Clubs.
Several provisions are in the law, among
them one applying TO incorporated clubs,
which reads:
ne Salu excise BOARD may, IN Its dis
cretion, issue a license to any duly incor-
porated club on the petition of the officers
of the club and that the said excise board
may, in its discretion, grant permit to
such club to sell Intoxicating liquors to
members and guests between such hours as
the board aforesaid may designate in sad
permit
After the passage Of the liquor law, blank
forms for use of clubs applying for liquor
licenses were printed and they are now in
use. Most of the clubs ask that the sale of
liquors be permitted between the hours of
s am. and 2 al m. of the next day, and on
Sundays. The licenses granted are similar
to the ordinary bar room licenses. and
while permits are not issued independently
of the licenses. 1t is contended by some of
the clubmen that the approval of the ap-
plications carries with 1t the permission
asked. The law, however, states that the
board may, in its discretion, grant a permit
to the clubs to sell at designated hours, and
the fact that special permits have been
granted is construed by those who are op-
posing the clubs to mean that the board has
not granted such permit.
These questions. 1t is generally admitted,
are of such a character that a decision Of
the court will be necessary to determine
them.
