synonymous with square and means "a part of a
city inclosed by streets, gives good cause for re-
joicing to the residents of the Hyde Park and
other prohibition and local option districts of Chi

just on the edge of districts whose residents for
various reasons do not desire that kind OF bust
ness carried on In their neighborhood."
