THE CABARET CLUB

A SUNDAY NIGHT DANCE,

A protest against a dance having taken place at the Cabaret Club, in Goring Street, on the Sunday evening during which HiLS. Renown was in Wellington was received by the City Council last night from a number of Goring Street residents.

Opportunity was taken by the Mayor <Mr. J. P. Luke) to refute emphatically a statement that; he had given permission for the dancing to take place. Tho liajl was not a publio place, and tho' council had no control over it. No permission wns necessary from tho City Council to, allow dancing to take place in tiho hall.' Were it necessary to approach him for permission, he woirld Mover grant it for dancing on a Sunday. Councillor P: Eraser thought tho council should express the opinion that thoso controlling the Goring Street Hall should not disturb residents until late hours in the night, particularly on Sundays. Tho Mayor replied that the Sunday night dance referred to was a regrettablo feature in connection with tho Royal visit, but the council was in no way responsible. It was decided to inform t!ho residents who had communicated with the council that the council was not to blamo for what had occurred.
