Weather Conditions

Birmingham, August 1.-Weather condi- tions at p. m.
 Barometers are high on the Atlantic coast and low in the lake region, Rocky mountains and plateau states. This dis trbution of the barometric centers has caused southerly winds from the gulf in most of the central valley. This condition has been productive of showery weather throughout these valleys and in the lake and gulf states. The 24-hour totals were usually light, but a few places reported amounts slightly exceeding an inch.
 It is somewhat cooler in the lower Mis- sissppi valley. scarcely any change in the temperature occurred in the gulf re- gion Unsettled weather will continue in the state Wednesday.

DOUBLE LIQUOR
 LICENSES BARRED A Citizen Cannot Be Issued Wholesale and Agency
 Licenses

Montgomery, August 1.-fSpecial9-Re- spending to an inquiry directed 10 1oF7 r-O'Neal by Dr. A. H. Montsomery' chairman of the Montgomery excise com mission, Attorney General Robert C.. Brickell today held in an important lh- depreciation of the Smith regulation Dill that d citizen cannot be the holder or wholesale liquor license and be the es- tablisned agent for a foreign brewery do- ing business in Alabama at the same time The ruling. however, does not apply to a citizen who is agent flor service" only of foreign brewery, the decision affect ing only those citizens who are agents for companies doing business in Alabama which companies pay a license tax of s1500 in accordance with section F of the Smith bill. The opinion in part follows Section b of the Smith bill provides that "No more than one license shall be issued to the same individual firm or corporation during any one year, and when the license is issued, it shall carry the right to conduct the business only in l the place which the applicant has speci- fled in his application.
 By section 12 of said bill, license Is required from wholesale dealer, and also separate license from the agency of brewery of another state. and to permit one person to hold bstA licenses would be in plain violation of the pro- visions of section , of the bill above quoted.
 Tn addition to the plain provisions of section 15 of the bill, an eXamina- tion of the act shows that it was evil dently the legislative purpose and in- tent to separate all branches of the liquor traffic and not to permit any com bination of the different branches.
 ''l am therefore of the opinion, and so advise you, that a person cannot during the same year be issued a li- cense as a wholesale dealer in liquors and a license as an agency of a for eign brewery doing business in this state.
