POLICE HERE NOT
TO ACT AGAINST
SUNDAY DANCING
Say Blue Law" Enforcement
Depends on Manner Of
Conducting Dances.

Sunday blue laws" especially
insofar as they prohibit public
dances. Will meet with the passive
allegiance of tbs Police department
until such time as the general atti-
tude of the people demands strict
enforcement.
This, in substance, conforms TO
views held by members Of the board
of public safety, who, II was made
known last evening, have informally
discussed the question OF Sunday
dances.
No action pointing to the closing
Of public dance halls on Sunday or
holidays is expected for the present,
at least, it was said.
But from behind locked doors
where three members Of the board
consult, adopt measures and deter
mine policies of fire and police pro-
ttection, has come forth a vieled
warning
Warning UnmistakabIe.
The warning. it was made known,
is unmlstakable as to its meaning.
Strict conformity to regulations
adopted for the purpose Of correct
and respectable dancing must be en-
forced. Dance hall proprietors are
told that failure Of patrons 10 COM

tees on the floors and their leniency

Business that demands immediate
attention and disposition by the
board has held up q general discus
sion OF the Sunday dance question
for the time being. Mr.. Davies made
It known yesterday. However. the
board has given it "cursory
glance" and has agreed TO keep an
eagle eye upon lacal dance halls
that have kept open on Sunday.
