Act against all licensees for the sale of spirtuous and fer-
mented liquors or lager beer in any quantity whatsoever now

suffer or permit any person except the owners or employees to
enter or remain in his saloon or place of business between the
hours of 12 o'clock midnight and the following 5.30 A. M. each
week day. The principal room where the intoxicating liquors
are licensed to be sold under the provisions of this Act shall be
open to public view during the hours of closing, as provided
in this Act, and lights, where gas or electricity can be secured,
shall be kept burning in said room continuously between the
said hours of closing, so that persons passing said place of
business may have an unobstructed view of the interior of said
principal room. Any person violating any of the provisions of
this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on
indictment and conviction thereof shall be fined not less than
twenty dollars nor more than fifty dollars. Any person found
guilty of violating the provisions of this section a second time
shall be held liable to the same fine as the first offense, which
the Court is hereby authorized to impose, and the Court may
in its discretion revoke the license of the party so convicted of
violating the provisions of this section a third time, and no
other license shall be granted to said party for a period of
three years after said revocation.
SEC. 2. And be it enacted, That all Acts or parts of Acts
inconsistent with the provisions of this Act (so far as the
same are inconsistent) are hereby repealed and this Act shall
take effect from the date of its passage.
