Dance Hale Zone Bill Loses In Committee
The council’s ordinance to zone dance halls and restrict pool rooms failed in a joint session of the ordinance and tax committees. Community leaders from the Atlanta Women’s Club objected, arguing parental protection and chaperonage matter more than police supervision, and that downtown dance halls could force well run venues out of business due to prohibitive rents.

City council debates zoning for halls and pool rooms
Henry Lyon and J B Lane protested as Gar Rins Hall and Roseland, both near Peachtree and North Avenue, were left out of the proposed zone. The measure failed to raise the dance hall tax to 390. Councilman Woodall urged postponement due to notices and quorum issues, but no delay was granted. The plan aims to confine dance halls and pool rooms to central city zones for better police supervision and to raise pool room licenses to 800.
