Description
WHITFIELD, J. -- An alternative writ of mandamus was issued from the Circuit Court commanding the city officials to recommend the issuance of and to issue to the relator a license to sell intoxicating liquors at 400 and 402 Bridier Street in the City of Jacksonville, or to show cause for not doing so. The alternative writ in effect alleges that the relator had complied with the law which would authorize him to procure a license to engage in the retail sale of intoxicating liquors in a certain election district in Duval County embracing a portion of the City of Jacksonville at a place where he had for several years engaged in such business, and that a renewal of the city license was denied him because the city had by an amended ordinance ""peremptorily and without valid reasons eliminated"" Lots one and eight in Block thirty-eight from the circumscribed area in such election district in which intoxicating liquors may be sold, and that the relator's place of business is in said Lot eight. It is alleged that the action of the city and its officials is unauthorized and deprives the relator of property rights secured to him by organic law. A demurrer to the alternative writ, being equivalent to a motion to quash, was sustained, and the relator declining to plead further, final judgment for the respondents was rendered, to which the relator took a writ of error.
