    24  Provisions.--Upon receipt, from a hotel liquor licensee, of an

     1  application for renewal of a hotel liquor license together with
     2  the appropriate fees and bond and upon a finding of the board
     3  that such licensee cannot comply with the provisions of
     4  subsection (c) of section 461 because: (1) during 1981 or 1982
     5  the premises for which said license was issued was destroyed by
     6  fire or natural disaster; and (2) the cost of reconstruction of
     7  the structure for the use as a hotel would be economically
