Every spot, from hotel lounges to night clubs, were packed. Parking spaces, if one could be found down town. were at a premium. Saturday was no different. Party-goers at Neal's were paid to leave the club Saturday night after city fire department officials told the owner the club was way over its occupancy of 400 people. The disc jockey announced that patrons could pet their money back if they left. A club employee stood at the door dol ing out five dollars as people went out into the night.
