Commissioners Cite
Objections 10 Policy
Of Open Meetings
Young and McCooeh See
Need Only in Coses of
Direct Public Interest

Commissioners John Russell
Young and Col David McCoach, jr.,
indicated today they are not pre-
pared to adopt a policy of open
meetings of the Board of Commits
sioners in all matters, in answer to
protest made yesterday by Repre-
sentative Bates, Republican, of
Massachusetts, against their secret"
meetings.
Both of them, after reading Mr..
Bates statement as carried in the
press, suggested there are many
matters of administration acted on
at board meetings which are not of
interest or concern to the public.
Both declared they were strongly in
favor of calling public hearings on
matters of policy of direct interest
to the public. ~
Commissioner Young said: "Al-
though I am a firm believer in pub
lie meetings on policy matters, I am
opposed to public board meetings
for matters of routine administra-
tive business. Probably 80 per cent
of the business handled at board
meetings is of routine nature, such
as the awarding of contracts after
competitive bids have been taken.
I am very much in favor of public
hearings on major problems.
Col. McCoach, while not declaring
direct opposition to the suggestion,
said he felt there was no need for
public hearings on. administrative
matters but that on questions of
policy he favored open consideration
of matters. He added the board
made a practice of calling public
hearings on such issues.
