storage of alcoholic beverages which, in its opinion, will  best  accom-
plish

  (2) Protection of purchasers against defaults by sellers;
  (3)  The  delivery  of  the  alcoholic  beverages  represented by such
receipts or documents, and
  (4) The payment of all taxes due thereon to the state.
  [7.] 6. Within ten days after filing a new application to sell  liquor
at  retail under section sixty-three, sixty-four, sixty-four-a or sixty-
four-b of this chapter, a notice thereof, in the form prescribed by  the
authority,  shall  be  posted by the applicant in a conspicuous place at
the entrance to the proposed premises. The applicant shall make  reason-
able  efforts  to  insure such notice shall remain posted throughout the
pendency of the application. The  provisions  hereof  shall  apply  only
where  no  retail  liquor  license  has  previously been granted for the
proposed premise  and  shall,  specifically,  not  be  applicable  to  a
proposed  sale  of  an  existing  business engaged in the retail sale of
liquor. The authority may adopt such rules  it  may  deem  necessary  to
carry out the purpose of this subdivision.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
