and place fixed by the board for hearing upon the application which
shall be not less than seven, nor more than thirty days after the
last publication. At the time fixed by the notice for hearing upon the
application or upon any postponement of such time, any person
shall be heard on either side of the question. If the board of license
commissioners for said city or any county determines that the grant-
ing of the license is not necessary for the accommodation of the
public or that the applicant is not a fit person to receive the license
applied for, or has made a material false statement in his applica-
tion, or has practiced fraud in connection with said application, or
that the operation of the business, if the license is granted, will un-
duly disturb the peace of the residents of the neighborhood in which
the place of business is to be located, or that there are other reasons,
in the discretion of the board, why the license should not be issued,
then the application shall be disapproved and the license applied for
shall be refused. If no such findings are made by the board, then the
application shall be approved and the said board shall issue [it] its
certificate of approval for presentation to the clerk of the court of
the county in which the place of business is to be located, or to the
clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in Baltimore City, as the case
may be, and the said clerk shall issue the license applied for upon
presentation of said certificate, and the payment of the fee required,
except that, in Prince George's County, such certificate of approval
shall not be presented to nor payment made to the clerk of the court,
rather, if no such findings are made by the board, then the applica-
tion shall be approved and the said board shall issue the license ap-
plied for, after payment of the required fee to the treasurer of
Prince George's County, provided that said board shall maintain a
record of licenses issued.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1967.
