Public General Laws, and not more than two assistants to be appointed by
the Comptroller, subject only to the approval of the Governor, and the said
Bureau, after due notice to the applicant and to one or more of the objec-
tors or their attorney, at the address disclosed upon the protest, shall pro-
ceed to hear and determine the said objections and shall notify the Clerk
of the Court of the Bureau's findings thereon. If the Bureau determines
that the granting of the license is not necessary for the accommodation of
the public, or that the applicant is not a fit person to receive such license,
or has made a material false statement in his application, or has practiced
fraud in the application, or that the operation of the business if the license
is granted, will unduly disturb the peace of the residents of the neighbor-
hood in which the place of business is to be located, or that there are other
reasons in the discretion of the board why the license should not be issued,
then the application shall be disapproved, and no such license shall be
issued. If no such findings are made by the Bureau, then the application
shall be approved and the Clerk shall forthwith issue the license applied
for upon receipt of notice or a certificate of approval from the Bureau,
and upon payment of the fee required. The findings of the Bureau in
connection with all such applications shall be final. If no written objec-

and the Clerk of the Circuit Court of said County shall issue the licenses
provided for by this Article upon the filing of the duly executed application
provided for in Section 5 of this Article and upon the payment of the re-
quired license fee. This Section shall not apply to St. Mary's County.

License Commissioners or the Clerk of the Court, as the case may be, a
sufficient sum to cover such publication and the giving of such notice.

County, as above provided, the Board may, in its discretion, and without
