THE MILFORD CABARET.

As a representative of the Takapuna residents in the Borough Council, I am aware that it js my duty to cast my vote in favour of any scheme affording clean sport and amusement. But I believe that the cabaret is to a great extent demoralising and that the residents of Takapuna "would be well advised to restrain the council as regards granting licenses. Experience of cabarets in the past has convinced me that the preservation of orderly conduct would be an utter impossibility and every parent should assist in maintaining the high social standard prevailing at Milford. Nor is it a matter of interest to Milford alone, because if the Milford license is granted Takapuna Central will follow suit. Supervision of both cabarets would also have to be borne by the ratepayers. There is not a moment to lose and I would suggest that the local clergy and parents approach the Mayor and councillors as a deputation with a view of setting the argument of profit versus social purity.
