IN ALL EATING PLACESCITY COUNCIL PUTS TABOO OH THIS FORM OF AMUSEMENT— HEATING CONTRACT RESCINDEDThe city council, at a special session, Monday evening, all members present and Mayor Clyde B. Walker presiding, put dancing in restaurants, cafes, hotels, inns, or other public places where food or drink is sold, offered for sale, or dispensed in any manner on the prohibited list, and prescribed a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $100 for each offense. The ordinance, introduced by Councilman Stanley Jones, was passed under suspension of the rules, without a dissenting voice.This action on the part of the council was the result of complaints coming to the police that dancing was being permitted in restaurants, and that the Athenian Cafe, opened formally Monday by the Geron Brothers, in the second v floor of the Olympic theater building. South Lebanon street, was booking dances, and that the police was called to that place at two o’clock Monday morning to notify the owners that they were violating police orders by permitting dancing in their place at that hour.The council also took action rescinding the recent contract with the county for heating the city building fromthe county plant. An investigationof the city plant showed that changes would have to be made Involving an outlay of probably $2,500 in attaching to the county heating line. The city will overhaul its own system, and the contract for so doing was awarded Parish Halfacre, on their bid of $225. To have connected up with the county meant changing radiation from water to steam.
