There has b een susgcstions mad e in the ,last that the term ''tax" should b e deleted nnd the tcrr:1 ' S:e e ' should b e su sti uted therefor . From a ;;urely legal ;oin of viC\·J, I ;refer the Ho rd 'tax", for the simple renson th.:1:: I am of the vie1-1 that , i f this charge is e v er attac!ced from a l c..,.:1l p oint of vie,.,, the Cit y \.Jould be better off defending the ;;J.:J tter on the theory that it is, indeed, a · revenue -raising r:1c~sure , rather than a regulatory fcc . I say this be c ause there is a ' t;ray" area when it c omes to rc ulatin:; liquor establish- T:lcnts b y cit· es , arising ·1rinci:1all y be cause the paramount license is issued by the state and the state statute e overns in many res,1ccts . Howe ver, so long as it c an be sho1vn that the c har ge h )oscd has as its purpose the ra ising of revenue , it does not r:1a :~c rr.u ch ifference lvhat you call it and I a m sure that any city attorney c ould live \vith .::1 "liquor occu ;Jatibna l fee" rather t:1.:111 a "liqu or o ccu pational tax ."
