CONDUCT AT DANCES.
“HUMANISED PIGS.” Christchurch, November 22. There were some candid expressions of opinion when a deputation from the Canterbury Society of Arts waited on the Christchurch City Council last evening to make representations with regard to the refusal to renew the license of the Art Gallery as a dance hall. In the course of his reply, the Mayor said that most of the people who went to dances were reputable people, and he could not understand why they did not band together and clean dancing up. Though the majority of the people .who went to dances were thoroughly respectable, there were some people, both men and women, who could not go to dances without making pigs of themselves. IWhy should these humanised pigs be allowed to spoil things for the rest of the community? Decent people and others concerned should unite and clean this thing up. They could do it. So far as the council was concerned they were prepared to meet the society. They did not want to deprive the society of its license, but they had a duty to the public. On the evidence they possessed they were satisfied that the license should not be renewed. , .
