History: 1953 Comp., § 53-3-5.6, enacted by Laws 1959, ch. 144, § 6.
Highest value for which missing licenses could have been sold may be used. — Since by 17-3-7 NMSA 1978 it is the duty of each license collector to account properly for the licenses sold by him, in the event a vendor is not able to accurately account for any missing licenses, the director is justified in assuming that they have been sold for the highest dollar value which could have been received for their sale, and until the license collector is able to prove the contrary to the director's satisfaction, he should be held responsible for that sum. 1954 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 54-6028 (issued prior to enactment of this section).
