London intercepted a Tokyo

The brief Imperial communi-

somewhat monotonous scene In
the courtroom was suddenly dis
turbed by one of the lawyers
commenting:
There's nothing in this ordi-
nance allowing dancing!"
Judge Paul r. Cash and four
attorneys Immediately went into
a huddle. while spectators and
interested village and club Off
Gals wondered what would hap
pen next.
In the oft e-record debate
that ensued il was admitted by
the village counsel that Ordi-
nance No. so, under which the
Blossom Heath license was ask
ed, has been considered proper
for allowing dancing, in addition
to eating and soft drinks. (Ac-
tual testimony subsequently de-
veloped to show several places
are benefiting by this error)
Blossom Heath's side of the
legal problem was explained in
this fashion. They had APP
preached the Village Commits
sion at public meeting and
asked for a license for food,
soft-drinks and dancing. The
commission apparently acting
in good faith) had said that Or
dinance No. so would cover
such an application.
OBTAIN WRIT ..
Accordingly, when the license
was refused, a writ of manda-
mus was obtained bringing the
commission into court, and
asking the court to order the
commission to grant a license
under Ordinance so to the
inter-racial club. The petition
for the writ therefore does not
fulfill the whole objective
sought.
Hurried examination of the
other village ordinances Thurs
day showed that license must
be obtained under Ordinance
No. 8 to permit dancing in q
place.
