I refer ta wbat Migbt be callèd "star chamber"' sessions, during wbich the cauracil mnembers.- ,the president, tbe trustees, the village manager, and the village attorney, usually - canduct most oi their discussions ina pnivate. Their public meetings seem 4o b, 1eld eolely for the purpose ai going tbrough a bur- ried and perfunctory ratifications of decisions reached ina secret. It can rigbtly be argued that some ai the matters wbich came up be- fore the village boards are ai such nature that a public discussion would do more harm than good, but it is inconceivable that every last item on which tbey pass lu ta be given this "bush-bush" treatment. As a matter of fact, few residents ever attend council meetings, and as a resuit. the, chamber itself ,la about as private as any anteroom can be. To repeat, executive sessions bave a rightiul place in the council program, but it is a little difficult ta see how their constant use is canducive ta the best i village gav- errament. - Citizen.. -years aid, died suddenly, last Fri- With Mrs. J.
