    “BRIGHT SPOTS ON THE MERSEY OB, “ THE LIVERPOOL SALTAXRE.” It may not be generally known that over large districts in and around Liverpool, public-houses are prohibited by owners of land and houses on their estates. The following are the principal of these prohibitory districts, with the present and estimated future populations upon them when the whole of the land already laid out shall be built upon. The extent and limits of the various districts are shown on the map on the inside. 1.—PRINCE’S ROAD. Number of Houses built, or in course of erection, about ... Estimated Population, about. 2.—PARK ROAD. Number of Houses about to be erected Estimated Population, about.. • # • • • • 3,500 18,000 • • • • •• 2,400 12,000 3.—WALTON ROAD. Number of Houses built, or in course of erection, about ... Estimated Population, about. 4.—HAMILTON ROAD, EVERTON. Number of Houses built, about . Estimated Population, about.. . • • • 700 3,500 1,000 5,000 5.—SHEIL ROAD. Number of Houses built, about .. 200 Estimated Population, about.. ... 1,000 6 —TUE-BROOK. Number of Houses built, or in course of erection, about. 600 Estimated Population, about. 3,000 The Corporation leases prohibit public-houses in the neighbourhood of Abercromby and Ealkner Squares, also around the Parks. It would be difficult to estimate the population on those leasehold tracts. There is good authority for stating that Upper Parliament Fields will be restricted from public-houses, as well as the land on the other side of Prince’s Road. When this land shall be built upon, the population upon it will not be less than 20,000 persons. When the whole of the land laid out or contemplated is built upon, the total number of the population of Liverpool living under prohibition of the liquor traffic in these localities will be not less than 80,000, including the residents around Prince’s Park and Sefton Park.
