38. As soon as an application for the issue of a permit, other than a reunion permit, is duly filled out, the secretary-general shall cause to be published a written notice of the application received by him in at least one local newspaper or one circulating in the place where the establishment contemplated is located. Such notice shall identify the applicant, state the nature of his application and indicate the location of the establishment where the permit is to be used.
By such notice the secretary-general shall call upon any person who desires to do so to raise, at the office of the Commission situated in the division where the application was made, within fifteen days from the publication of the notice, any objections he may have to the issue of the permit.
The secretary-general shall also give a similar notice, in writing, to the Attorney-General or to any Attorney-General’s prosecutor whom he may appoint for such purpose.
This section does not apply in the case where the application for a permit is made to replace the physical person in whose name a permit is issued on behalf of a corporation, partnership, cooperative syndicate, cooperative association, club or, where such is the case, an association of apple-growers.
