ORCHESTRAS FOR DANCES
COUNTRY DIFFICULTY NEW AWARD SCALE OF FEES [ ItV TELEGRAPH —OWN CORK KSPONI) KNT] PALMERSTON NORTH, Monday The fear that if they wore compelled to pay the new award scale of fees for engaging orchestras for country dances many halls would find their profits disappearing, and in time would have to close, was expressed at a meeting of country hall committees to-night. There was agreement that musicians wore entitled to increased wages, but it was thought that country halls should not have been placed 011 the same-basis as .places of entertainment in large cities. A delegation was set up to meet orchestras of the district in an endeavour to arrive at some compromise on the question of fees. A suggestion that hall committees should refuse to engage orchestras this winter and depend on the services of local talent gratuitously giveu failed to find any support.
