Case Where Newark Beats Jersey city.

The Excise Board of Newark has
announced that no additional saloons will
be licensed in that city for the present.
There are 1, AS saloons in Newark and the
Excise Commissioners say this is enough.
Newark's population was 246, 07O accord
ing to the last census. Jersey City has
about 1000 saloons and its population was
2O6, 433 in 1908.
Jersey City actually and also in proper
tion to its population has less saloons than
Newark.
To equal Newarks rate Jersey City
would have to have /, 1876 saloons, or about
1876 more than it has now. [Journal.
