"Senator Martin came to sep me a

Members Argue Over Advisa
bility of Holding Open or
Closed Meeting
INDEPENDENTS FOR SECRECY
Plans for the organization of Ihe new
City Council were presented this aft
ernoon before members of tlie special
committee on rules mcctlus in City
Ilnli.
The tentative plain drafted by sup
porters of the Mayor-elect give thp
piehident of Council power to name
the couneilmnnic committee- and ap
point most of the employes of the
Council.
Considerable time wns roiiumeil in
discussing the ndvisnbillty of having the
meeting an executive session or wide
open. The independent members of Hie
commiltec urged thut it be executive,
while lhe organization members advo
cated an open session.
ltichurd AVeglein, who has the sup
ort of Mnyor-eleo AIoojjp for the presi
dency of the new Council, said as he
pntprcd the meeting: "I insisted on nn
executive session out of deference for
the other fourteen members of the new
body not present. Wc should keep the
rules secret until they linvc n chnnce
(o go over them. Wo have our plans
complete. Wc are going to put our curds
011 the table and expect the others to
do the same."
Among the questions decided at the
meeting were parliamentary rulings,
size of committees, methods of their
selection nnd other details.
AVith Francis F. Hurch. prospective
finance chairman, presiding nt the
meeting this afternoon, the Council or
ganization plans were presented by
.lames i. Devclin, councilmnn-clcct
from the Fourth district.
The president of the Council, under
the propospd rules, appointed the
members of ten or eleven committees
which will consider legislative busi
ness The committees arc to include trans
portation, taking fn all street aud steam
railway affairs, law, health, finance,
public works, utilities, public safety,
commerce nnd navigation und municipal
government.
The Council president, it is nlso ten
tntlvely suggested, will name all coun
eilmnnic employes except tlie sergeant-nt-nrms,
the chief clerk nnd the assist
ant chief clerk. Sentiment seems to
swing toward election of those officials
by the whole Council.
