1658 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 687

troller, or in case said Comptroller shall be of the opinion
that such application is not filed in good faith, or that such
application is filed by some person as a subterfuge for the
real person in interest whose license or registration shall
theretofore have been cancelled for cause by said Comp-
troller, then and in any of said events the Comptroller
after a hearing, of which the applicant shall have been
given five (5) days' notice in writing and in which said
applicant shall have the right to appear in person or by
counsel and present testimony, shall have, and is hereby
given the right and authority to refuse to issue to such a
person a license certificate to transact business as a dealer
in the State of Maryland.

The application in proper form having been accepted for
filing and the bond having been accepted and approved,
the Comptroller shall issue to such dealer a license certifi-
cate to transact business as a dealer in the State of Mary-
land subject to cancellation of such license as provided by
law.

The license certificate so issued by the Comptroller shall
not be assignable, and shall be valid only for the dealer in
whose name issued, and shall be displayed conspicuously
in the principal place of business of said dealer in the State
of Maryland.

The Comptroller shall keep and file all applications and
bonds with an alphabetical index thereof, together with a
record of all licensed dealers.

It shall be unlawful for any user as defined herein to use,
or any seller of diesel fuel as defined herein to sell diesel
fuel or fuel oil within the State unless such user or seller is
the holder of an uncancelled license issued by the Comp-
troller. Such license shall be issued in the same manner as
is prescribed in this section, provided that the user or
seller of diesel fuel shall have submitted with his applica-
tion for said license a bond satisfactory to the Comptroller
in an amount equal to three times the average monthly tax
paid, but not to exceed $5, 000. 00.

251. The records of all purchases, receipts, sales, distri-
bution and use of motor vehicle fuel of every dealer, user,
and seller of diesel fuel shall at all times during the busi-
ness hours of the day be subject to inspection by the Comp-
troller, or by any agent or employee thereof duly authorized
by said Comptroller.

Every dealer shall maintain and keep, for a period of
two (2) years, such record or records of motor fuel re-
ceived, used, sold or delivered within this State by such
dealer together with invoices, bills-of-lading, and other
