Of the license year In each Of the
cities and the number Of inhabitants
to each dealer selling liquor by the
drink.
More than one-fourth of such
dealers in the 15s largest cities were
reported from New York and Chi
cago; the cities OF over 900, goo popu-
lation with the smallest number Of
saloons were Washington 521 and
Pittsburg s1s. In cities Of this
class, the largest number OF saloons
In proportion to the population were
In Milwaukee and New Orleans
where, In the former, there was one
dealer selling liquor by the drink to
every 142 inhabitants and, In the
latter, to every 200 inha' itants. The
number Of inhabitants to every
dealer In Philadelphia was 761, and
in Boston 73s. The other cities hav-
Ing less than 200 inhabitants to each
dealer were Galveston, 1874, East. st.
Louis 143, Mobile 153. Houston 1885,
Hoboken 1858. Sacramento. Cal. 1888,
San Antonio 17s La crosse, Wis,
1873. Springfield, H., 1873. and West
Hoboken 191.
The smallest number Of saloons In
proportion to population is shown for
the cities of Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts, and the largest for those or
Texas. Ohio and Wisconsin.
In comparing the number Of re-
tail liquor dealers In 141 cities re-
porting for both 1897 and 1905, it
is shown that there was a decrease OF
per cent in the number OF saloons
in 1907. The decrease was general
in nearly every part Of the country,
except the Rocky Mountain and
southwestern states.
