County Press Hur|s
NewCharge in Fight
For Open Meetings

Continuing it's campaign against
closed sessions of the Montgom-

Press Association yesterday &C
cused the council of "misinter.
preting" the provision in the
county charter relating to open
meetings.
According to the association, the
provision in question states that
the executive sessions of the
County Council shall be open OF
closed to the public from time to
time as the council may deter
mine"
Under present practice, how
ever. the association said the
council does not determine wheth-
er to discuss it's business at open
meetings. Such decisions are
made only by the council presi-
dent.
The press group added that the
phrase from time to time" clearly
indicates that it is the sense of
the charter that closed meetings
should not be held as a regular
weekly procedure as is done now.
The present council practice of
meeting in closed session every
Tuesday morning prior to an open
session during the afternoon is
contrary to the intent of those
who drafted the charter, the asso-
citation said.
I'VE urge" the association said.
that all items on the councils
agenda be discussed openly, ex-
cept those affecting land values

will not be offered next year be-
cause planters voted down a SINH

referendum last December. The
count then was 1876 for and 2,305
against.
OF the total 1897 ballots cast
yesterday, about half the eligible
number. only q per cent favored
the quota-price support program.
Favorable votes last year were IS
per cent of the 6.181 total. A two
thirds vote is required to indorse
the program.
Quotas Favored in Virginia.
In the Virginia voting, farmers
in the 16-county dark tobacco belt
overwhelmingly decided to keep
the quotas, which have been in
effect in the Old Dominion since
1946.
Tabulation by the State produc-
ton and marketing administra-
tion showed that 4,051 farmers
favored quotas for three more
years, 102 for one year and 81
wanted to drop the program.
The seven-State area where the
issue of controls depends on a
few scattered, uncounted votes
consists of Ohio. Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Farmers in those States voted
2,790 to 1,434 for controls, but
that 66 per cent vote in favor of
quotas was just short of the two
thirds needed to retain the system
for another year. The controls
