*Ord. 73 (1923-24), attempted to repeal and ordain secs. 668-670 and 679 by abol-
ishing the Liquor License Board and transferring its duties to the Collector of
Water Rents and Licenses, as well as transferring to the City Treasury all liquor
license fees. Since Ord. 105 (1923-24) attempted to do the same tiring so far as
auctioneers and their fees were concerned and was pronounced void in Gaither v.
Jackson, 147 Md. 655, it would appear that Ord. 73 is invalid and is so treated by
the codifier.
