| lndt inc CITY Councll at It's last meeting
asked two questions which, in sub
stance, are if am applicant for saloon
license can make application for part
of the year and pay pro rata for the
license, and il the full amount was
paid, whether or not the applicant
might receive a refund pro rated upon
the basis of part of the year.
You state you answered both of
those questions in the negative.
| beg to state that your position is
no doubt correct.
In an opinion rendered to the dis
| trict attorney for Sheboygan County
on June 10th held as follows:
Under the circumstances (being the
same circumstances and situation to
which you refer) the person applying
| for license no doubt is advised of all
| the facts, and, therefore, upon opinion
rendered in the case of Custin V. The
| City of Niroqua, 81 Wis. 314, and in
the case of Shirley v, Waukesha, I2l
Wis. 239, it is my opinion that the
town or city cannot refund any part Of
the license money paid, and the licensee
can not recover the money which he
has paid.
In prior opinions from this depart
ment it has been held that under sec
| ton l5iS, subsection 3, all licenses
shall remain in force until the first day
of July next after the granting there
of, and that a license cannot be grant
ed for a less sum than the amount fixed
| by law as the annual license fee, even
though the license is not for the full
period of one year.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) JOHN j. BLAINE,
Attorney General.
