WHICH?
HOLIDAY OR HOLY DAY 7 When a proposition urging that authority be granted for picture entertainments to be held on Christmas Day was under discussion ; at last night's meeting of the City Council, Councillor F. Meadowcroft protested against the suggestion. He stated that i* Auckland and Christchurch there were movements against the holding of entertainments of the description on Holy Day, and in one instance the requests to hold them had been turned down. “Wo will have a lot of people in Wellington for whom the churches do not provide,’’ declared Councillor F. W. Mantan in supporting teh motion. Ho thought the picture shows should he open on Christmas Day. “The people’s time will be far better spent there than prnbaAly in some places in the open air.” Councillor Meadowcroft: Never I Councillor Bennett referred to Councillor Meadowcroft’s inconsistency in supporting the holding of the tramways picnic on Christmas Dav, and in his objection to the present proposal. The motion was eventually carried, after a division had been called for, by 13 votes to two.
