CHICAGO PROHIBITION AND LOCAL-OPTION DISTRICTS.

Nov. 1, 1907.

The total area in Chicago covered by local-option or prohibition ordinances is, according to the city map department, about 127 square miles, or more than two-thirds of the whole. There are some seventy-two districts where saloons are either barred entirely or are permitted only after securing the consent of a majority of the residents. The accompanying map, copied from the original prepared by the city map bureau, shows the approximate location of the districts with the exception of the minor prohibition territories in the old town of Lake-those within 150 feet of public parks, schools or churches. The boundaries as shown on the map and as given in the following descriptions serve merely to indicate the general location, the actual boundaries in many cases being the alleys running parallel to the streets named.
