INTOXICATING LIQUORS.
"Sec. II. All of the general laws of
the State OF Minnesota pertaining in
any manner to the sale of Intoxicating
liquors, shall, as far as applicable, be
in force in, and apply to the City of
Willmar. Provided, however, that
the legal voters of the City of Willmar
shall have the power and authority to
vote upon and determine for them
selves, the question whether license for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors as a
beverage shall be granted by the
council of said City or not; and it shall
be the duty of the clerk of the City of
Willmar, upon receiving a petition for
that purpose, signed by legal voters of
said City to at least fifteen (15) per
centum of the entire vote cast at the
last preceding annual Charter election
OF said City, at any time not less
than twenty days before any annual
election of such City, to give at least
ten days notice that the question of
granting licenses for the sale of intox
icating liquors as beverage in said
City, will be submitted to the legal
voters thereof at the next ensuing an
nual election, which question shall be
determined by ballots containing the
words "In Favor of License" or
"Against License" as the case may
be: Provided further, however, that
the neglect of the clerk to give the re-
quired notice shall not invalidate the
vote and determination made under
the provisions of this section, if the
petition named shall have been duly
filed. The votes upon said question
shall be taken, canvassed, returned
and announced in the same manner as
is prescribed by this charter for the
taking, canvassing, returning and
announcing the votes for the election
of City officers, which determination
so made shall continue until the same
shall have been reversed at subse-
quent annual election in the same
manner; and, if such returns show that
ma Ority of the votes cast at such
election on said question shall be
against License, no license for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors shall be
granted by the authorities of said City
OF Willmar, except for medicinal or
mechanical purposes, but if such re-
turns show that majority of the votes
cast at such election on said question
shall be SIN Favor of License" then
the City council may grant license in
the manner prescribed by law.''
