Court Allows Mormon Church Dance at Rancho High Gym
Dist Atty Edward Marshall ruled the Mormon church may hold a fund raising dance tomorrow night at Rancho High School gym. Mayor William Taylor led the request to use the facility to raise money for new chapels, after prior rejections, citing a Nevada AG 1955 view on church use of public schools. The event marks the arrival of Mormons in Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and avoids conflict with the church center on Las Vegas Boulevard North.
