missioners shall determine that the said business, entertain-
ment or amusement carried on, or proposed to be carried on by
any such applicant is not detrimental to the public health,
morals, safety or welfare of the people of Queen Anne's
County, they shall issue a certificate to such applicant, directed
to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Queen Anne's County, to
issue a license or permit to the said applicant to open, carry
on or conduct the business covered by the said application; and
