Legislative History

(RSMo 1939 § 4904, A.L. 2016 S.B. 919) (1954) In certiorari proceeding to review denial of liquor license by city liquor control director, court could only quash its writ or quash the decision of the director of liquor control. State ex rel. Bruno v. Johnson (A.), 270 S.W.2d 99. (1956) Evidence that applicant for city liquor license was sole owner of business rather than partner of her husband held sufficient to require issuance of such license. State ex rel. Sirna v. Johnson (A.), 287 S.W.2d 114. (1957) City ordinance prohibiting sales by any wholesaler to retailers who are delinquent in payment of accounts to any wholesaler held valid and not in conflict with either the liquor control law or the nonintoxicating beer law. Passler v. Johnson (Mo.), 304 S.W.2d 903. (1968) Evidence sufficient to support petition for writ of mandamus to compel city council to issue liquor license. State v. City of St. Robert (A.), 424 S.W.2d 73. (1969) No provision is made for notice and hearing in case of municipal authority to grant or deny liquor license and court will not imply requirement of notice. Kopper Kettle Restaurants, Inc. v.
