MUST T.A1lE OUT ANNUAL LICENSE.
s owing to n mistake of the Legislature
IN making annual licenses expire May
81st and renewals begin July list, Attor-g
ney.General Gimer gives It as his opin-
ION to the state Treasurer that he must
instruct county sheriffs to require piano
md organ dealers to pay the amount OF
the annual tax (SiO) to do business during
;J,lne. and then take out the regular s4Ot
annual license from July LIST. Nothing
legs than annual licenses can be issued.
Another ruling of the Attorney-General
rather in conflict with this is that the
treasurer can have licenses for June
issued to distIllers. Their annual llccnse
expires May 3lst and the Watts bill,
cutting out of business all those outside
Of Incorporated towns. docs not go into
effect until July LIST.
