Although Miller Brothers were un-

by the excise board-from November
to November q. 1914. the latter date
that of the approval of the excise
board of the renewed application under
acceptable conditions-the proprietors
of the saloon are charged with the full
value of license, $1,000. for full
license term of one year. from Novem-
ber 1 to November I. Rebate for the
twenty days of suspension of business
is denied by law as interpreted in a
ruling of the controller of the Treas
ury. George E. Downey.
The absence of definite provision
in the law for refund of a portion of
the license fee in a case of this kind, in
the opinion of Controller Downey. is
strong presumptive evidence that it
was not intended by Congress that
there should be such refund. He SO
