a bottler’s license or a wholesale beer license issued by the Board, or by
a fee of fifty dollars for each such person representing any person engaged
in the sale of wine and beer, or either, at wholesale but holding no license
therefor issued by the Board. Each permit issued hereunder shall expire
on the thirtieth day of June next succeeding the date of issuance, unless
sooner suspended or revoked by the Board. Any such permit may be sus-
pended or revoked at any time by the Board. Permits issued hereunder
shall confer upon the holders thereof no authority to solicit the sale of,
or to sell, wine and beer, or either, in this State except as otherwise pro-
vided by law.

(b) Proration of permit fees.——The fee on each such permit issued
to any person representing any person engaged in the sale of wine and
beer, or either, at wholesale but holding no license therefor issued by the
Board shall be subject to proration to the following extent: if the permit
1s issued in the second quarter of any year the fee shall be decreased by
one-fourth; if issued in the third quarter of any year the fee shall be
decreased by one-half; and if issued in the fourth quarter of any year the
fee shall be decreased by three-fourths.
