Argued May 24, 1951;

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
A public dance hall operated for profit is not a " Place of public assembly ", as that term is defined in the Emergency Business Rent Control Law (L. 1945, ch. 314, § 2, as amd.; McKinney's Unconsol. Laws, § 8552). The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs, and the question certified answered in the affirmative.
Lotjghran, Ch. J., Lewis, Conway, Desmond, Dye, Ftjld and Froessel, JJ., concur.
Order affirmed, etc.
