Village Law was recodified in 1972.

apply to the Board of Trustees at a meeting thereof for the same, and such
license may be granted or refused by the Board of Trustees.
The Mayor may suspend any license which has been granted until the next
meeting of the Board of Trustees, and thereupon, such license may be continued
or may be revoked by said Board for cause shown, after notice has been given
to the licensee.
Whenever any license shall have been revoked by the Board of Trustees,
a notice of such revocation shall be served by the Village Clerk upon the
licensee, either personally or by mail, whereupon such license shall be of
no force or effect.[1]
