PUBLIC
DANCE STATUTES
That Is What Mankato Will Do
With the Stepping
Functions

According to the statement Of
City Attorney C. e. Gilmore. the
recent Jaws passed by the state
legislature In regard to public
dances will be enforced in ManKaUo
as close to the letter Of the law as
1t Is possible to do.
Free Press that license Is re-
quired for all public dances except
S'nen they are given on the property
of the municipality and under the su-
pervision Of officers of the munich
pality. Mankato has no such dance
halls, so II follows that all public
dances will have to be covered by
licenses to be- given, by the clty
council.
The city attorney explained that
q public dance Is one where the
public may come In and take part
ny the payment Of q fee either di-
rectly or indirectly. Lodges and so
cieties which received any benefit
lie upon payment of fee will come
under the head of public dances.
Where 1t is a dance for the mem
bers of the fraternity, and no fee is
charged. the law will not apply.
In order to get dance license,
the application must be accompa-
MED by an affidavit, signed by two
reputable citizens, setting forth that
the person making the application
Is OF good moral character, and has
not been convicted of felony or
gross misdemeanor within the past
five years. This affidavit will have
to be presented to the city council,
I'd that body in turn will present
the application to the chief of po-
lice for further Investigation It
win depend entirely upon the opin-
ion OF the chief of police whether
the license should be granted or
not. It further requires that a DO
lice officer must be present at pub
lie dances.
According TO the view expressed
- City Attorney Gilmore, dances
held in the Armory under the sup
6 vision Of the national guard or
members thereof must be licensed.
