the code of 1012 contained Hie words
"shall continue the sale of liquor."

asked the clerk to get more light on

. ."?The* language of Section 801, re

gtltoge that would ordinarily convey
the impression that the law ss codded
would not allow an election except tu

opinion which is encloseoVandtS study
of tho Acts, of 1007 and 1309. it will bo
clearly seen that: there ls nothing In
tue law to warrant the language used
in the Code of 1012. This language be
ing doubtful, as lt is, we must refer
to. the original Act to lind out . what i
the law ls on the subject, and by ref- j
