Original application by a taxpayer of Los Angeles County for a peremptory writ of mandate. It appears from the petition, to which a general demurrer is interposed, that on August 30, 1910, the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County adopted an ordinance, No. 245 (New Series), entitled: "An Ordinance regulating and licensing certain kinds of business in the county of Los Angeles"; that section 25 of this ordinance provides: "At every general election hereafter held, the following four propositions shall be severally submitted to the electors of each voting precinct in the county of Los Angeles, outside of incorporated cities and towns, to wit: "1. Shall wholesale and retail liquor dealers' licenses be granted in this precinct? "2. Shall winery keepers' licenses be granted in this precinct? *Page 73 "3. Shall hotel and restaurant liquor dealers' licenses be granted in this precinct? "4. Shall licenses for public billiard rooms be granted in this precinct? "The county clerk is hereby authorized and directed to put each of said propositions upon the ballots for each of said precincts at every general election, in the manner prescribed by law, without any further order to that…

The application for rehearing is not without merit. The propositions advanced are, however, argued for the first time upon such application. The limited time afforded the respondent to cause the ballots to be printed and the probable effect upon the general election, were the alternative writ revived, appeals to us as sufficient reason for denying a rehearing. In addition to this, it is not probable that a different judgment would meet with the unanimous concurrence of. the justices of this court.

Rehearing denied.
