district:

Provided that it shall be lawful for the Legislature
of any province in which any such districts may be
proclaimed to provide and declare what fees shall be
payable for any such license; to attach conditions to

and obligations as shall be thought fit; and, subject
to the said Act, to prescribe the forms, time, and
