Syllabus

<p>Liquor laws — Refusal of license — Form of order — Grounds for refusal.</p> <p>1.. Where a final order refusing a liquor license recites the fact that the license was refused after hearing, it will be presumed in the absence of anything to the contrary, that the applicant had such hearing as the statute contemplates, and that the license was refused for a legal reason. The fact that the order does not recite the reason is immaterial.</p> <p>2. A license judge in refusing a liquor license on the ground that a license in the place asked for is not necessary, may act on his own personal knowledge of local conditions.</p> <p>3. On an appeal from an order refusing a liquor license, the evidence is not part of the record and the appellate court cannot pass on the question as to whether the court below was in error in making an order against the preponderance of the evidence.</p>
