THE NEWS. PROVIDENCE. r. H. FRIDAY, JUNE 16.
GENERALS
OPINION

The attorney general has given an opin-
ion in the matter OF druggists licenses.
He decides that the applications must be
advertised just as is done with those ap-
Piled for by wholesale and retail Iquor
dealers.
The board OF police commissioners.
following the usual course, will charge
cost OF advertising.
The opinion OF the attorney general is
June Is, 1905.
william II. Luther, ESQ, Chairman,
Board OF Police Commissioners:
Dear Sir---I beg 10 acknowledge receipt
OF the request OF the police commissioners
for my opinion as TO whether section NO.
80 of chapter No. 102 OF the General Laws
of Rhode Island. as amended by chapters
No 1928 and No. 1899, passed by the gem
eral assembly at the January session, 1900,
is subject TO the provisions OF section NO.
2 OF said chapter No. l02, of the General
Laws.
The portion OF section No. OF chapter
No lO2, OF the General Laws as amend
ed by chapter No. 543 OF the Public Laws
10 which reference Is apparently made.
reads as follows Before granting IL
cense TO any person under the provisions
of this chapter. said council or board
shall give notice by advertisement" etc.
Chapter No. 1888 OF the Public Laws
simply substitutes the new section No.
SO in place OF old section No. 30, and
makes 1t an integral part OF chapter lo2,
and provides for a class OF licenses 10 be
known as druggist liquor licenses. The
new section specifically provides that the
provision of section No. 4, OF chapter No
102 shall not apply TO the granting OF
these licenses and specifically provides
that the provision Of section No. IL shall
apply.
The implica tion raised on the one side
by the reference 10 section No IL, Ia mega
tived by an equally strong implication
raised on the other side by reference TO
section No. 4.
The question Is one that is not wholly
free from doubt and IL might be contend
ed that Section No. SO was by impllca-
ton exempted from the provision of sec
| tion No. 2, yet II seems 10 me such i'm
plication would be unduly forced and
struction of statutes and TO the plain
meaning OF the language OF the law.
] have the honor 10 advise you in my
opinion the AMENDED section No. SO is sub
ject 10 the provisions OF section No. 2
above referred 10 and that application for
druggists liquor licenses should follow
the course prescribed in said section.
Yours respectfully,
WM. b. GREENOUGH.
Attorney General
