moral character; that he or she has never been convicted of violating
any of the laws regulating the traffic in any spirituous, vinous,

being filed, the district court clerk shall give five (5) days' notice
by posting notices, one of said notices to be posted at the county
courthouse, one notice to be served on the district attorney or his or
her assistant and three (3) notices in the city or town where said
pool hall shall be located. Said notice shall contain the name of the
applicant and the location of said pool or billiard hall. Any citizen
of said city or town may appear before the district court clerk and
protest the issuance of said license. Any party aggrieved by any
decision of the court clerk can appeal to the district court as
specified in Section 163.11 of Title 37 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Any
person violating any provision of this section shall be punished by
fine, not less than Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) nor more than One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00), for each offense.
