GUEST URGES WEARING OF DINNER JACKETS SYDNEY, April 11. At the annual dinner of the . Local Government Engineers’ Association at the Carlton Hotel tonight one of the guests—the Mayor of Manly (Aiderman P. L. Nolan) —reproved his hosts for not having donned dinner jackets. With all respect to his hosts, said Aiderman Nolan, he deprecated the fact that few of them, although they were professional men, wore evening dress, as he did. “Clothes count,” said Aiderman Nolan. “They stamp the professional man, and I am surprised and disappointed that so few of you apparently realized this.” He expressed the hope “in all humility” that next year the engineers would dress for their conference dinner.
