The mayor fined him $10, and he appealed to the circuit court, where a demurrer was sustained to the charge, and he was discharged and the town appealed.\nThe seventeenth section of the act of March 9, 1875, gives to municipal corporations organized under the act, power to regulate hotels and other houses for public entertainment.\nIt has been decided that the power to regulate includes the power to license as a means of regulating.
