THE GOOD IT WOULD DO. There are in New York and Brook fourteen thousand licensed liquor saloons, usually situated upon street corners, so that the average of each must be at least twenty-five feet. If these saloons were extended in a straight line side by side and touching other, there would be a row of extending three hundred .- id fifty thousand feet, or a trifle than sixty-six and one- quarter miles in length. This is about thirds the distance be- tween Net- York and Philadelphia.
