sixteenth section of tho net does provide
"That nothing in this act shall be con-.-trued
as permitting ihe retailing of in
toxicating iqw,r in Hiieh laxing district
within four miles of a chartered in.-litu-lion
of learning." And the chargedoes
squarely raise iheqlies.-ioii whether this
section can have any and what riled on
llit! :-eeoiid section of the act of 1877.
Ly the act of LSSJI, chapter 1 li),

sage of the ad of 177. the limitnrion of l',ed ns one subject, even if the general
limits of a (axing tlistrict of the second
class would, therefore, be as much with
in the serving of the second section of
the act ofl77 ns the sale within the
limits of any other incorporated town.
His honor, the trial judge, was of
opinion that the right lo sell liquor by
retail within four miles of a chartered
institution of learning in a taxing dis
trict of the second class was prohibited
by the act creating these districts. And
it may be conceded I hat such w as the
intention of the legislators by tho lan
guage used in the sixteenth section
"that nothing in this act shall be con
strued us permitting the retailing of in-'
toxicating liquors in such taxing dis
tricts within four miles of a chartered
institution of learning " Hut the inten
tion cannot be elloctuatcd except by
treating this section as repealing the
general statute of 1877, or exempting
the incorporated communities within
those districts from its provisions. And
the difliculty is in seeing how this can
he done consistently with tlio provisions
of the constitution, and the usual rules
of statutory construction. Our duty is
to carry into died tho intention, of the
legislation, if possible.
lho act creating taxing districts ot
the second class does not give to the
corporation organized under it, or to
the oflieers of such a corporation any
authority in relation to the privileges
created by the general laws of the
State. The corporation can puss no or
dinance inconsistent with these laws. It
cannot even levy a levy a tax on either
property or privileges. This is express
ly forbidden by section f) ami by section
II ; the .Stale levies a tax of itfl on ev
ery 8101) of taxable properly, and on
all merchants and privileges a lax equal
lo the general State lax, for .'he purpose
of supporting (lit! corporate government.
The municipal authorities lire not vest
ed, by the ad, with power to permit or
forbid the exercise of any business li
censed by the State as a privilege. Nor
has thi! Legislature undertaken in the
act, by positive language, to forbid such
exercise The language of section l(i
is merely negative, "thai nothing in the
act shall be construed as permitting,"
etc. And there is nothing in the act
which eitiier permits or forbids in so
many words.
The constitution of the State, article
2, section 17, says : "All acts which re
peal, revive or amend former laws,
shall recite in their caption or otherwise
the title or sulistance ot the law repeal
ol , reviv'.-d or amended. Ihe act
crealin .axing districts of the 2d class
cannot be considered as an act to repeal
or amend the act of 1477, for neither in
its "caption or otherwise" does it recite
the "title or substance" of the penal
statute. Nor does it contain any such
positive provisions upon the subject
matter o' the statute as would operate
to repeal by implication. The sixteenth
section, us we have seen, i.s merely neg
ative in its language. The truth is.
tlifi Legislature had a general intent to
create ti new class of municipal corpora
tions, ami a particular intent that this
class, of corporations should not bo with
in the savings ot the penal statute. 1 he

If it was the intention of the Leidsl
lure to exclude a construction of the act
as pei milting the sale of liquors, mid
the impression that such sale was al
ready prohibited by the existing law
tho results would be the same. The
language is not sufficient to create
declaratory act upon which the courts
can Paso a new construction. Tho old
law remains in force precisely as if the
language had not been used.
The judgment of the circuit court
must bo reversed, and the caso remand
ed for a new trial. CoiirKK, Judge.
This ileeisinn disposes of several other
cases depending upon the same fines-
