Refuses to Rent Hall for Dances

By the Associated Press

Raleigh, N.C., June 19—The executive board of trustees of the Olivia Raney Library of this city today passed resolutions refusing to rent the hall of the library building for any dances.
The resolution states that this action was taken in view of the character of modern dances and alleged “rowdyism” which is said to have taken place at recent dances held at the library hall.
