Nothing in this Act shall be construed to forbid or prevent the sale of intoxicating liquor for the period of thirty days next after the vote shall have been taken in the anti-saloon territory thereby created, according to the terms of a dram shop or other municipal license theretofore regularly issued in good faith according to law. Any portion of a dram shop or other municipal license fee which shall have been paid and which shall represent the unexpired period for which said dram shop or other municipal license was issued after the political subdivision in which such dram shop is located shall have become anti-saloon territory, shall be refunded by the municipality receiving the same. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to forbid or prevent the sale at wholesale by a manufacturer who manufactures from the raw materials of the product of his own manufactory located within anti-saloon territory for delivery outside the limits of such territory.

Any five legal voters of any political subdivision in which an election shall have been held as provided for in this Act, may, within ten days after the canvass of the returns of such election and upon filing a bond for costs, contest the validity of such election by filing a verified petition in the county court of the county in which such political subdivision is situated, setting forth the grounds for the contest. Upon the filing of such petition a summons shall forthwith issue from such court addressed in cases of an election in a town, city or village, to the town, city or village clerk as the case may be; and in other cases to the county board, notifying such clerk or board of the filing of such petition and directing him or it to appear in such court on behalf of such political subdivision at the time named in the summons, which time shall be not less than five nor more than fifteen days after the filing of such

petition. The procedure in such cases shall be the same as that provided by law for the contesting of an election upon a subject which shall have been submitted to a vote of the people, so far as applicable. The county court shall have final jurisdiction to hear and determine the merits of such cases. Any legal voter in the political subdivision in which such election shall have been held may appear in person, or by attorney, in any such contested election case in defense of the validity of such election.
