Opinion BY Attorney General.
March %, 1912.
Mr. Quintus A. Kaune, Portales, N. M.
Dear Sir-I have received your let
ter of the 23d inst, and hasten to re-
ply. The important question which
you ask is for my opinion as to wheth-
er the town of Portales, Incorporated
before the passage of the act which is
printed as Chapter III of the Laws of
teenth subdivision of Section 2402 of
the Compiled Laws of 1897, to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquor within
the limits of the town. | entertain no
doubt that that power still continues
in any towns except those incorporat-
ed under the act of 1909. The act of
1909 repeals only Sections PATS to
1892 of the Compiled Laws, and by
that repeal. the new act in no way i'm
pairs the status, authority or power OF
the towns already in, existence.
AS to the other question about who
is to issue retail liquor licenses, | am
equally clear that the legislation in
Chapter 10S of the Laws of 1901 super
sedes Section 4123 of the Compiled
Laws, so that it becomes a matter OF
course for the county clerh to issue i
license upon the report of the applica
ton to him by the assessor | think
that you will agree with me in this up
on examination of Chapter 19 of the
Laws of 1901, which relates only to
liquor and gaming licenses. BY Sec
tion of that act, it is provided thai
all applications for licenses shall be
made as required by Section 4156 oi
the Compiled Laws of 1897, and there
is nothing in the whole chapter tc
show any intention that it's provisions
should not cover saloons and gaming
houses in cities and towns as well as
outside thereof. This act was adopted
March 9, 1901, and Chapter 10S was
adopted twelve days later, and by Sec
