Syllabus

<p>Chapter 6516, Acts of 1913, does not make it a misdemeanor to use or allow doors, or screens, etc., in a single room where a restaurant and a liquor saloon are “run and operated in the same room” by the same proprietor, when such proprietor has duly procured and holds one license for such place as a retail liquor dealer and also a proper license for the same room as a restaurant keeper in connection with a barroom. The law does not contemplate that in such a case two liquor licenses shall be obtained and held, when the business of a liquor saloon and a restaurant are conducted in the same room by the same proprietor, and there is no attempt to evade the law regulating such subjects.</p>
