Chicago, 111., May 13.— A bill has
been introduced into the state legisla­
ture to reduce the number of taverns
in the state. If the bill is passed it
means that nearly 2,000 taverns in
Chicago will be closed. Chicago now
has issued 9,235 licenses for drinking
places. A section of the proposed
bill calls for one tavern for each 500
persons in the city’s population. This
bill would then permit the issuance
of only 7,260 licenses.
