D. T.. Commissioners
Secret Sessions
Protested by Bates
Representative Urges
Reduction in Size of
House Committee

Secret sessions of the Board of
District Commissioners, at which
the business of the municipal gov
ernment is transacted. were con-
demned today by Representative
Bates. Republican, of Massachusetts,.
He declared that at least twice
month the Commissioners should
open the doors to the public and
give the taxpayers an opportunity
to watch them in action and express
their views on matters under con-
sideration.
As member of the House District
Committee, Mr.. Bates has taken an
interest in the affairs of the
municipal government. Before COM
ing to Congress he was for IA years
Mayor of Salem, Mass.
Il have been told that when the
Commissioners meet as board to
transact the business of the District
government they go behind closed
doors and that newspapermen are
not even allowed to observe the pro-
ceedings," he declared. Il don't
know of any other municipality in
the country where the governing
body bars the public from its pro-
ceedings.
Regrets Kennedy Bills Death.
"The only contact the Commits
sioners have with the public is
through the civic and trade organ
Nations, and usually that contact is
made via correspondence. Under
such an arrangement it Is impossible
for the Commissioners to get COM
plete picture Of the views of the
public.
There are certain matters, of
course, which the Commissioners
cannot discuss in public. Then it
is all right for them to hold execu-
tive sessions. But I believe they
should have at least two meetings
a month at which the voteless people
of the District could attend and
voice their views on various mu-
Mcipal problems. Not all the tax
payers in Washington belong to
trade and civic organizations"
AsSPA VoCAAVdVAVC odVCO dlSO CXs
pressed regret that the Kennedy bill
to reorganize and modernize the
municipal government appears to
have met sudden death because CT
the opposition of President Roose-
welt.
Favors Smaller Committee.
He said certain changes are needed
to increase the efficiency of the mu-
nicipal government-changes that
would be carried out under the Ken.
nedy reorganization plan.
The Kennedy bill Is on the House
calendar, but there is little nken-
hood it will be called up for consid-
Grafton at the present session Of
Congress.
Aside from criticizing the present
system under which the municipal
government functions, Mr.. Bates
said he believed the House District
Committee should be reduced In size.
The committee now is composed
of 81 members. Mr.. Bates said q
committee of II members would be
less unwieldy and would make pos
sible more expeditions handling Of
