Syllabus

<p>Intoxicating Liquors — License—Recovery op Fee — Liability op County — Incorporation op Town. The unearned portion of a county liquor license can be recovered by the licensee when his license has become inoperative by reason of the incorporation as a town of the territory in which his saloon was conducted, where the same has not passed -beyond the county’s control.</p> <p>Same — Depenses — County Funds — Actions — Multiplicity op Suits. A county cannot escape repayment of the unearned portion of a liquor license, which has become inoperative, by the fact that the same has been transferred to the county school fund, and transferred to the school districts; since the school fund is a continuing fund under the control of the county, and the rule against a multiplicity of suits forbids separate actions against each school district, as such course is not necessary</p>
