PARKING AT DANCE HALLS
BY-LAW QUESTIONED (Special to THE SUN) CHRISTCHURCH. Monday. Legal argument about the Christchurch City Council's by-law which prohibits the parking of cars outside three dance halls in the city during dances was heard in the Magistrate’s Court, before Mr. E. D. Mosley, S.M., to-day. The magistrate reserved his decision. At the previous hearing of the charge of a breach of the by-law by Reginald H. Stillwell, a dance promoter, Mr. F. D. Sargent argued for the defence that there was partiality in the by-law, because it applied to three only of the numerous dance halls. There were others in close proximity to those concerned, the Caledonian Hall, the Winter Garden, and the Jellicoe Hall. Today Mr. Sargent also said the by-law permitted anyone not attending a dance to park in the prohibited urea outside the halls during the time-limit set out, although persons actually attending could not <lo so.
