(f)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this section the holder of
any license issued for premises substantially destroyed by fire, ex-
plosion, or catastrophe, or taken by condemnation or by the exercise
of the power of eminent domain, may transfer the license to other
premises within the same election district, with the approval of the
Board of License Commissioners. In the event the holder of any

Commissioners shall not give any special preference, it being the
intent of this section that persons holding any class of beer, or beer
and wine license, shall receive the same consideration as any other
