liquor licenses. At the November election, 1890, the vote was: For licenses, 1,295,
and against licenses, 1,155. Ch. 461 of 1896 authorized the voters of any election
district to vote for and against licenses. At the November election, 1896, the
voters of Districts No. 6 and 10 voted against liquor licenses. Ch. 649 of 1908
(page 823) provided for the creation of "anti-saloon" territory within Garrett

County by popular vote. All three of these acts seem to have been superseded
by ch. 34 of 1914, and consequently they have not been codified.

Secs. 319-337 of this Article have also probably been superseded by ch. 34 of
1914, but since they do not seem to be inconsistent with said chapter, they have

been codified.
