Syllabus

<p>Market Stalls — License tmder Ordinance not Providing for Renewal.</p> <p>Under its charter, the city of Baltimore has power to erect and regulate markets and dispose of the stalls therein. Held, that where a license to use a market stall for one year is issued to a party under a municipal ordinance which gives him no right to demand its renewal, the passage of a subsequent ordinance under which another party becomes entitled to the stall after the expiration of the year, does not deprive the first licensee of any property right, and is valid.</p>
