license (on-sale) club under which it is lawful to keep for
sale and sell for consumption on the licensed premises
alcoholic beverages on Sunday between the hours of 12 noon
and midnight; (2) Class A, beer and wine license under which
it is lawful to sell between 9:00 a.m. Sunday and 2:00 a.m.
the following day; (3) Class D, beer and wine license under

public, fully equipped with a proper and adequate dining
room and with sufficient facilities for preparing and
serving meals, which has been approved by the board of
license commissioners of Kent County, wherein the average
daily receipts from the sale of food comprise at least 60
percent of the average daily receipts of the business.
