 slA eA ~ Opposes Secret Sessions.
 q do not believe any sessions of the City Council or its committees should be held behind closed doors," said 8 citizen of Montgomery to an Advertiser "why for instance, should the pro- ceedings of committees of the City is made to the Council in a body? If there Is anything in the matter under consideration which It would not be to tho best interests of the citizens to have kno wn. such, for example. as would causefthe city to lose money if made public, 1t Is perfectly right to suppress. Newspapers would of course respect has under consideration the letting of a contract after the bids have been opened, or when 1t Is deliberating on the advisability of granting a fran chise, the tax payers should certainly be given a chance to see and hear what is going on. Sessions of committees behind closed doors are conducive to talk. even if there is m shadow of suspicion in the committees actions. The Aldermen are merely the agents of the people and the people have a right to know of every transaction made in their name."
