Use of Armory Drill Hall
It was reported that Mr. Alfred Abelin, 798 South Church, had asked for use of the
Armory Drill Hall for fourteen public dances to be held at various week-ends during the
coming months and until May 24th, 1947. After careful consideration b~ the City Commission,
it was thought the t l't would be unwise to grant exclusive rights to the use of the Drill
Hall for so long a period, as the Armory, being a community bUilding, its use should be
confined, in so far as possible, and whenever necessary to community purposes, rather than
reserved exolusively for individual profit. However, i t wa s thought that the building could
be engaged for a day or so in anyone month, in advance, for dancing or other entertainment
where an admission fee is charged, but not for an extended period as such a reservation
might be against the public interest, and that Mr. Abelin should be so notified. It was
further suggested that full payment should be made at fue time the reservation is arranged.

missioner Lowe; those voting No, none.
