Whereas, After a careful study of the foregoing provisions it
would appear that such contention has just merit; and

Whereas, It appears desirable to impose certain limitations and
restrictions upon any Class B beer, wine and liquor license to be
issued within Worcester County outside of the corporate limits of
Ocean City; now, therefore,

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That new Section 19 (m) (1) be and it is hereby added to Article 2B
of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1957 Edition), title "Alcoholic
Beverages", sub-title "Beer, Wine and Liquor Licenses'', to follow
immediately after Section 19 (m) and to read as follows:

19(m) (1). Bona fide hotels having 20 or more rooms regularly
serving meals located outside the corporate limits of Ocean City, and
restaurants having a table seating capacity of 70 or more people
located outside the corporate limits of Ocean City shall make appli-
cation to the Liquor Licensing authority THE BOARD OF LICENSE
COMMISSIONERS of Worcester County for a license to serve
beer, wine, or liquor; and upon approval by the licensing authority
and upon compliance with the general provisions of this Article,
and payment of cm annual fee of $1,000 shall be entitled to a
license which will permit said hotel or restaurant to serve liquor,
wines, or beer for consumption on the premises only during the
hours as provided in Section 106 of this Article. Such licenses
shall be issued only to persons who have been registered voters
and taxpayers of Worcester County for at least 5 years prior to

incorporated town in which event one-half of the funds shall go to
