Montgomery Council
Reaffirms Policy Of
Closed Meetings

The Montgomery County Council
has decided that the public inter-
est is best served by its present
practice Of holding both closed
and open sessions.
In reply to a Montgomery
County Press Association resolu-
ton. asking that all council meet
ings be open to the press and pub
lie, the council said. in a statement
yesterday, that closed meetings
are provided for by the charter
and it believes they serve a useful
purpose.
OF Shorter Duration.
"The closed meetings. for the
past year. have been of about 212
to 3 hours duration. while an
average Of 8 to hours per week
has been devoted to open execu-
tive sessions" the statement con-
tinued. THE only objection ap-
pears to be that there are too
many closed meetings. This, OF
course. is a matter of opinion"
"The council operates on a part
time basis. The closed sessions
help to make up for the lack OF
day-to-day contacts which would
occur If the council were on a full
time basis. The council holds an
open public session every week.
Early Disclosures Feared.
"The councils official acts are
in the form Of resolutions. These
must be discussed at one meeting
and adopted at another meeting
Like any other business, the public
business requires preliminary study
and discussion, and the weekly
closed sessions furnish an oppor-
tunity to meet with administrative
officials and informally discuss the
problems presented.
Premature disclosure at open
meetings of planned county opera
tions can have an adverse effect
on public business

Arlington Gets
S274,0O0 Grant
For Hospital
Hill-Burton Act Funds
To Aid Construction
Of Added Facilities

A grant of $274,O00 in Federal
and State funds toward compile
ton of an addition to Arlington
Hospital has been approved by
the Virginia Advisory Hospital
Council.
This was announced today by
State Senator Charles r. Fenwick
of Arlington who, as a member of
the advisory group attended a
meeting of the council in Rich
mond yesterday.
Hospital Supt. John j. Ander-
son was jubilant over the news
and said that only about $50, 200
needs to be raised to construct
the $497 900 worth of added IA
|cilities to the hospital which serves
Fairfax County and Falls Church
as we'll as Arlington.
Delegates Pressed Request.
j. Maynard Magruder and
George Damn, Arlington dele
gates to the General Assembly
also went to Richmond yesterday
to press the hospital request be-
fore the State agency. The Vir-
|ginia Advisory Hospital Council is
set up to administer the Federal
Hill-Burton Act funds which
totals about $2.4 million for the
entire State for the 1872 fiscal
year.
In all, applications from
throughout the State totalled SIG
million, Senator Fepwick said
Under the Hill-Burton Act, the
Federal and State Governments
put up SIS per cent and the local
ity matches with As per cent of
the cost.
AS result of hospital drives in
the Arlington area over the last
two years, there now is about
$4,000 in the hospitals building
fund, including valid pledges, -
according to Mr.. Anderson.
Confident of Success.
II am confident" Mr.. Anderson
stated, that we can raise the $83,-
000-odd needed to complete our
share of the cost without resort
to another large funds drive"
Senator Fenwick said plans
must be sufficiently advanced to
award contracts by March 81
1852. Mr.. Anderson said this can
be done.
The addition would give the
hospital total of 205 beds, COM
pared with its present lis.
Also. the proposed construction
would provide increased labora-
tory facilities, allow SO beds to be
set aside for children in a pediat-
RIGS wing (instead of the present
I15), and doctors and nurses meet
ing rooms.
