LICENSES. 1971

74 to 116, inclusive, shall not apply to Anne Arundel, St. Mary's and
Charles counties. Special law for Allegany county.

A license to sell liquor is not a contract. It is a mere permit subject to be modified
or annulled by legislature. Hence, a law may be adopted prohibiting selling liquor,
notwithstanding licenses already granted. Maryland legislature may pass a law,
principal object of which is to benefit a town in another state. Clark v. Tower,
104 Md. 181; Fell v. State, 42 Md. 89; State v. Maryland Club, 105 Md. 595.

Local option laws are constitutional and valid. Fell v. State, 42 Md. 83.

Under police power, state can pass law requiring license of those who sell lager
beer manufactured by themselves within state. Keller v. State, 11 Md. 531. See
also State v. Maryland Club, 105 Md. 595.

The three kinds of licenses to sell liquor, contrasted—see secs. 85 and 105. An
oyster or eating house license for sale of liquor in quantities less than a pint, does
not authorize sale of liquor in any greater quantities. State v. Cahen, 35 Md. 237.

Formerly liquor license laws did not apply to social clubs; see, however, sec. 101,
et seq. Seim v. State, 55 Md. 571. See also State v. Maryland Club, 105 Md. 597.

See sec. 5 and notes. See art. 20, sec. 25.

As to sale of liquor on election day, and taking it into registration offices, see art.
33, secs. 120 and 121.
