Except as hereinafter provided, no license shall be refused except for a specific reason and for the protection of the public safety, health, morals or general welfare. A license shall not be assignable, and unauthorized use thereof, either by a holder of such license or by any other person, shall be deemed to be a violation of this chapter.
