A letter addressed to Alderman: Tingley and signed by Roy Watson, Jr. as President of the Kahler Corporation listing the two following things as possible changes in the proposed dance permit ordinance. was read: First, that, if possible, it should be amended to read "Dancing is permitted within 15 feet of any standing, or serving, bar." Actuallay in our case unless we cover Y feet of the dance floor, we could not qualify under the 20 foot provision. Second, I feel that the $1,000 fee is a little too high. We do not want anyone to. feel that The Kaldler Corporation is seeking a dance license for, itself, only, and I am Inclined to think that if the fee is set at that price many people will think that the dance license is set at that rate to be out of range of anybody but ourselves. Frankly, I think $750 would be adequate but if the Council wishes to keep it.at $1,000 there would be no objection from us. I am thinking merely in terms of others.
