and equipment, unless such properties are located beyond the
limits of the area of routine inspection performed by such
Board; and if such property, buildings and equipment be

provisions of this sub-title, or any rule or regulation issued
thereunder is or has been violated by the holder of any license
issued by such Board, or that such violation has occurred or is
occurring on any premises for which such license is issued, said
Board shall forthwith give notice to such license-holder in writ-
ing, setting forth the nature of such violation, and directing
that such violation shall cease, and if such holder shall refuse
or fail to comply with such notice, the Board may thereupon
suspend or revoke such license.
Any applicant for a license, or any license-holder who shall
feel aggrieved by the action of said Board in failing to issue or
in revoking or suspending such license, may within ten (10)
days after receipt of notice of such failure or action, take an

to such application, suspension or revocation, and such appeal
shall thereafter be heard by such court as promptly as circum-
stances will reasonably permit. Such hearing may be had upon
the record so transmitted, but the court may hear such addi-
tional evidence as it may deem proper, and upon the conclusion
