Grog Permits Not Part of Retail Stock
Liquor Licenses Found Separate From Fixtures
By Tribune Staff Writer
Helena, May 29 — Liquor licenses are not part of the “stock and fixtures” of a retail establishment, the supreme court ruled today.
By a 4-1 margin the court reversed a Wheatland county district court decision that Archie and Cecelia Zeiter should give up the retail beer and liquor licenses they retained when they lost possession of the Corral club near Harlowton for failure to keep up payments.
Chief Justice Hugh Adair held that Ed Light and five others, who sold the premises, were not entitled to a revision of the sales contract to include the licenses. He called attention to the fact that the contract did call for sale of 62 cases of liquor in a Billings warehouse despite the fact only one of the six held a license to sell liquor.
Adair quoted the Montana law which calls for fines and imprisonment up to $5,000 and 5 years for sales without a license and added:
“Should the Corral club bar be owned and operated by the six plaintiffs as partners, then the law requires the licenses must be issued to the partnership and must set forth the names of the persons conducting the business.”
The Zeiters and Herman and Alice Baehler bought the establishment and stock and fixtures in April, 1946. The Baehlers gave a quit claim deed to their interest in the contract after the initial default in payments. The Zeiters remained in control, however, until suit to remove them was started in 1948. Upon vacating, they took the licenses and offered to sell them to the partnership for $7,000.
Retail liquor licenses had no sales value in Montana until after the 1947 legislature set up a quota for each community based on population. Most communities already had more licenses than the quota provided but the law said existing license rights would not be disturbed.
Angstman Dissents
The $7,000 valuation fixed by the holders of the Harlowton club license appears to be at or near the minimum figure recognized in the business today. It was argued recently in another liquor case from Martin City that the license was worth $10,000. No litigation has developed to indicate what a license in more populous centers of the state would bring on the open market.
Associate Justice Albert Angstman dissented in today’s case. He asserted the majority opinion was based on matters not brought up in pleadings or in briefs filed by opposing counsel.
He pointed out that under this decision, and a recent Helena case in which it was held licenses are applicable only to the premises to which issued, present owners of the Corral club have an establishment but no license with which to conduct a legal business whereas the Zeiters have a license but not place in which to operate.
