papers or documents appertaining thereto shall be forthwith
transmitted by the clerk of the court to the State Appeal Board.
The said Board, after due notice to the applicant and to one or
more of the objectors shall notify the clerk of the court of the
Board's findings thereon. If the Board determines that the
granting of the license is not necessary for the accommodation of
the public, or that the applicant is not a fit person to receive
such license, or he has made a material false statement in his
application, or has practiced fraud in the application, or that
the operation of the business if the license is granted, will
unduly 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 under other sections of this article, then
the application shall be disapproved, and no such license shall
be issued. If no such findings are made by the Board, then the
application shall be approved and the clerk shall forthwith issue
the license applied for upon receipt of notice or a certificate
of approval from the Board, and upon payment of the fee required.
The findings of the Board in connection with all such
applications shall be final only in those counties where no
appeal to a court is provided in any other section of this
article. ]
