Syllabus

<p>Intoxicating Liquors (§ 45*) — Permit to Open Barroom — Statute—Retroactive Effect.</p> <p>Whether the language of section 8, act No. 176, p. 240, of 1908, be taken literally, or construed with reference to circumstances and to canons of construction throwing light upon the intent, the conclusion reached is that the requirement with reference to the obtention of “permits” for the opening or the conducting of barrooms has no application to persons by whom permits had been obtained under the preexisting- law, and who had established themselves at places authorized thereby before the passage of the act in question.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For other cases, see Intoxicating Liquors, Dee. Dig. § 43.s:]</p> <p>Land, J., dissenting.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
