THE CABARET CLUB.
A SUNDAY NIGHT DANCE
A protest against a dance having taken place at the Cabaret Club, in Goring street, Wellington, on the Sunday evening during which H.M.S. Renown was in Wellington was received by the Wellington City Council at its iqst meeting from a number of Goring street residents.
Opportunity was taken by the Mayo* - (Mr. J. I*. Luke) to refute emphatically a statement that he had given permission for the dancing to take place. The hall was not a public place, and die council had no control over it. No permission was necessary from the City Council to allow dancing to take place in tho hall. Were it necessary to approach him for permission, lie would never grant it for dancing on a. Sunday. Councillor P. Fraser thought the council should express the opinion that those controlling the Goring Street Hall should not disturb residents until late horn’s in the night, particularly on Sundays. The Mayor replied that the Sunday night dance referred to was a regrettank- feature in connection with the Royal visit, but the council was in no way responsible.
Jt was decided to inform the residents who had communicated with the council that the council was not to blame for what had occurred.
