   The remaining valid license renewals shall be issued for a period
of 12 months beginning January 1, 1988.  The application fee for the
renewal of the 12-month license shall be twelve dollars and fifty
cents ($12.50).
   Beginning January 1, 1989, all renewals of licenses shall be

following year.
   Application for a new license or a renewal license, together with
the appropriate application fee, shall be made prior to the handling
of manufacturing milk or the expiration date of the license held.  If
it is not so made, the applicant shall pay an additional twenty-five
dollars ($25) before the license shall be issued.
