COMMITTEE VOTES To
POSTPONE DISCUSSION
ON CHARTER CHANGES
Determine 10 Await Receipt of Full
Report From New York
Bureau.
PETERS AND POWERS
READY NOW FOR WORK
Motion for Executives Session Defeat
ed on Ground That Public Is En-
titled to Know What is Going
On.

The council committee on charter
changes last night decided TO post
pone all discussiou ana consideration
of matters pertaining to charter
changes until a complete report shall
have been received from the New
York Bureau OF Municipal Research.
and adjourned TO meet at the call of
the chairman.
This action was taken after censi~
derable discussion as to procedure. A
letter had been received from the
bureau containing extracts from its
proposed report. There were other
papers ON the table referred by coun-
Gil and presented by various depart
ments of the city government, and
letters from the Civic association and
private citizens. All these were tabled
at the suggestion and on the motion
of Alderman Workman. who said he
believed greater progress could be
made with the full report of the
bureau in hand.
When the clerk stated that he had
received a letter from the bureau con-
tanning information width the oom-
mittee had sought. the question arose
as to whether this letter should be
discussed in open or executive ses-
sion. Councilman Peters expressed
himself strongly against executive ses-
sions for the committee, saying he
had nothing TO conceal. and he
thought that such an important mat
ter as charter changes should be dis
cussed In open session as 1t was the
public's business. and every person
should be permitted to hear and see
all that is going on.
Oppose Executive Session.
Alderman Workman and Council
man Powell thought the letter might
be read In executive session and then
II found to contain anything not
detrimental to the city's interests
might be made public. Alderman
Adams and Councilman Mills agreed
with Mr.. Peters, and motion to go
into executive session was defeated.
Then Alderman Workman moved
all the papers be tabled until the full
report of the bureau is received
Mr.. Powell chafed in the traces.
Lets start something" he said. Tim
I'm favor of discussion ON the question
or the abolition of the administrative
board. or decreasing something. We
are killink time, when We might be
doing something
