shall be operative, and the said court shall not grant in the aggregate
license for more than thirty days in any year, nor more than fifteen days

during the months of December, January, February and March provided,
that the Circuit Court for Baltimore County may grant such license for
not more than seventy-five days between the first day of April and the
first day of December in every year. For every licence so granted there

the court granting the same, the sum of five dollars for each and every
