Description
1. Intoxicating Liquors ? Effect of elimination of language. The purpose of eliminating from the statute the language requiring the approval by the local authorities of the application to the State Liquor Control Board for a retail liquor license was to deprive the local authorities of that measure of local control granted by such language. 2. Statutes. Earlier statutes to the extent of any repugnancy are controlled by later statutes. 3. Intoxicating Liquors ? Relator held entitled to engage in liquor business. The holder of a retail liquor license issued by the State Liquor Control Board was entitled to engage in the retail liquor business without interference by the city authorities subject only to the payment of a fee which might be exacted by the city, not exceeding 50 per cent. of the fee paid to the state. 4. Injunction ? Equity ? Property rights interference under a void statute. While equity will not ordinarily restrain criminal prosecutions, yet it will intercede when property rights are invaded as in this case and an injunction will lie to prevent a city from interfering with the operation of a retail liquor business under a license issued by the State Liquor Control Board where the license showed that such interference was depriving him of benefits of a large investment in license, fixtures and stock. 5. Intoxicating Liquors ? Cities and towns divested of rights by statute. The statute specifically repealing all acts in conflict and particularly all state laws and city ordinances relating to the issuance of liquor licenses, divested the cities and towns of power to license the sale of liquor under general statutes authorizing cities generally to license businesses and occupations. 6. Statutes ? Special statutes control general. Special statutes, subsequently enacted relating to the liquor traffic and the licensing of the sale of liquor, control the more general provisions of the statutes authorizing cities generally to license businesses and occupations and will be regarded as an exception to or qualification of the prior general statutes. 7. Intoxicating Liquors ? State Liquor Board has control. The legislature has delegated to the State Liquor Control Board the control of licensing of retail liquor dealers, and towns and cities have no power to divest the Board of such control or to nullify a state liquor license duly issued by the board.
