1Per curiam
This is an application for mandamus to compel the respondent to accept from the petitioner his approved bond and $500 for a liquor tax, and to give to him a receipt therefor, to post up in a conspicuous place, as provided by Act No. 313, Laws of 1887, which is an act to provide for the taxation and regulation of the liquor traffic. The respondent refused to accept the approved bond and the $500 tax, or to give him a receipt, for the reason, as he claimed, that Act No. 207, Laws of 1889, commonly known as the “ Local Option Law,” was then in force in the county of Gratiot.
