Shortly after the outset of the meeting the press and general public were informed council in- tended to go into an in-camera session. It has since been learned that session was devoted to discussing repealing Bylaw 82-16. After the discussion, members rose to report and then proceeded to pass the necessary bylaw to repeal the first one. It was only as the bylaw was given third and final reading that the press and general public was again allowed into the council chambers. "It wasn't done intentionally. There just seemed to be some confusion as to when the public should be let in," a town Official said yesterday. As for local law-makers they took no chances their in-camera discussions would be made public. At one point in the meeting, a brief case that had been left in the council chambers by a member of the public was removed "for fear it had a tape recorder in it," a member of council told this newspaper yesterday.
