be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, to
read as follows:

71.

(b). (Allegany County.) In Allegany County, the holder of
any license issued under this Article shall not be permitted to sell,
assign or otherwise transfer such license to another person. It shall
also be unlawful for any licensee to rent, lease or sub-lease any
business operated under a license issued under the provisions of
this Article. It shall also be unlawful for any licensee to be em-
ployed by, or work on the premises of another licensee. If any such
holder of a license shall for any reason discontinue the use thereof;
or violate any of the provisions of this subsection, said license
shall revert to the Board. Thereafter, the Board shall treat the
said license in all respects as if it had not previously been issued
and reverted, and may issue it to another [licensee] person, or not
so issue it, in their discretion, agreeably to the provisions of this
Article relating to the issue of licenses for the retail sale of alcoholic
beverages. Whenver a license has reverted to the Board or when-
ever any license is before the Board for issuance, said license shall
not be issued by the Board within thirty TEN days from the date it
so reverted to the Board or become available for issuance ; HOW-
EVER, THIS 10-DAY PERIOD MAY BE WAIVED BY THE
BOARD IF ANY LICENSEE SHALL GIVE A 30-DAY WRITTEN
NOTICE TO THE BOARD THAT THEY INTEND TO GIVE UP
THEIR LICENSE AND SAID NOTICE SHALL BE BINDING ON
THE LICENSEE. Provided, that nothing in this sub-section shall be
construed to extend to the disposal of a license by reason of the
death of the licensee, but any such contingency shall be covered by
the provisions of Section 75 of this sub-title.
