Approved March 14, 1904.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
seven of the charter of the town of Luray, Page county, Virginia, as
amended and re-enacted by an act approved March fifth, nineteen hun-
dred and four, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 7%. Liquor license: how to be granted——Whenever anything for
which a State license is required is to be done in said town the couricil
may require a license therefor, and may impose a tax thereon for the
use of said town, but said license tax shall not be greater in amount
than that required by the State for the same business, except a liquor
license, which may be greater. But no license to sell spirituous or in-
toxicating liquors, wine, beer, ale, or porter, or any drinks of like nature,
within the said town, or within two miles of the boundary thereof, shall
be granted by the circuit court of Page county, or any other authority,
unless the party applying therefor shall produce to said court or author-
ity the certificate of the council of said town giving its consent to the
granting of said license. The council may require from persons s0
licensed to sell spirituous or intoxicating liquors, and so forth, as above
stated, a bond with sufficient security, payable to said town, in such
penalty and with such conditions as it may think proper; and may, for
the violation of the law governing the sale of ardent spirits, or of the
conditions of the bond herein provided for, of which violation the
council shall be sole judge on the evidence, withdraw its certificate for
such license; but before doing so the council shall summon said party
before it, and give him full opportunity to make his defense.

2. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby re-
pealed.
