question of Sunday dancing and other things,those present being the
Mayor,and Councilmen Horovitz,Logan,Cann,walthour,Farr,Espy and Town
attorney Mr Brennan.The meeting was held at 4 P.M.
The Mayor said that as the question of Sunday dancing had developed
into quite an important issue it was necessary that Council decide
on what action they would take cope with the situation.--- several
letters were read by t-eClerk from people,some of which wee opposed
to and some of which were in favor of Sunday dincing.
The mayor said that from his observations more people were in favor
of Sunday dancing than were against it,he quoted a NT$ 6 epe as hav-
ing said that Tybee was a disgrace to Georgia,he informed the lady
that she was mistaken as in his opinion Tybee was one one of the
finest places that Georgia could boast of.
The Mayor asked for the opinion of Cau-cil and Councilman Waltheur
made a motion that a questionaire be sent all property owners of
Tybee asking whether they want Sunday dancing or not --- to be
reported back toCouncil within 10 days --- motion ca..ried.
Councilman Cann said that in his opinion the greatest danger of
Funday dancing to Tybee was its bad effect on the interior of Geo-
gia,Savannah had a bad reputation in Georgia now,it may keep peo-
ple away from Tybee, and also that when fanatics get busy on any-
thing they usually push their cause to the end.--- he did not think it
good policy to have it,he personally was not against it anymore
than against any other form of recreation.
The mayor said he stop -unda until council passed upon it.
