In Harford County no license shall be issued until the Board
shall satisfy itself of the moral character and financial re-
sponsibility of the applicant, the appropriateness of the loca-
tion where such licensed business is to be conducted, taking
into consideration the number of such licenses already issued,
any objections from owners of property living in the imme-
diate neighborhood, and generally as to the applicant's fitness
for the trust to be reposed. Each license shall designate the
place of business of the licensee. The said Board shall determine
what sales of foods, drinks or other commodities and items, in
addition to the sale of foods cooked or prepared on the
premises where the license is exercised, shall be permitted to
be charged against the sale of beer and wine by the licensee as
hereinafter prescribed, and a list of such items shall be from
time to time printed by said Board and a copy thereof given
to each licensee at the time the license is issued. In case a
change is made in said list the Board shall immediately mail
a copy of the revised list to each licensee. No license shall be
granted to anyone who has been convicted in a Federal or
State Court of a felony, or of the violation of the laws govern-
ing the manufacture or sale of liquor, or maintaining or
operating a bawdy house, or a place where gambling has been
permitted, or by the agent or representative of any such
person.

of County Commissioners or Mayor and City Council of Bal-
timore shall use such portion of such receipts as may be neces-
sary to pay refunds as hereinafter provided, and devote the
