Secret Meets
Are Dangerous
Courses Look
The Baytown Sun ha* been both criticized and
lauded for the-poaition it take* on public group*
meeting in *ecret session*.
Most of the criticism comes from public officials,
but even most of them don’t blame the paper.
One of the worst things that can befall a com-
munity is for its operating and governing agencies
to begin to meet behind closed doors. t
Consider Pasadena’s plight today.

J. Williams, R-Dsl..
The worst thing that ever happened to Pasadena
was that nobody thought about the value of main-
taining a daily newspaper in that burgeoning com-
munity when it began to suffer from acute growing
pains
Pasadena wouldn’t be in such an embarrassing
position today if a newspaper reporter had been
poking his nose into matters at city hall for the past
20 yean.
There was a time when Baytown city officials
were receiving $50 expense checks from the city
without letting anybody know about it. It went on
for quite some time and almost got to be accepted
practice. Then The Baytown Sun found out about It
and publicized the practice.
Council candidates came forward who said they
wouldn’t take the expense money. The practice was
changed to require the submission of itemized ex-
pense statements.
This is merely a minor example of what can hap-
pen in a community when office holders close the
door.
Our school officials here have officially written
into their policy book that secret meetings shall be
an approved procedural practice.

meetings are to be held.
The trouble is that these personnel matters and
committee functions are not the only things that are
discussed in secret meetings. The Sun has evidence
that on several occasions the board has completed
its regular business and then went into various oth-
er mature at such meetings. V
The decision to integrate summer school was
reached at a budget committee meeting, for Instance.
Employment ot administrative personnel was ap-
proved at a policy committee meeting and never an-
nounced to the public.
A decision to uphold a teacher on a complaint
came St a committee meeting, The Sun is told. . *
/A change in school ring buying policy was
reached at an informal and unpublicized board or
trustee committee meeting without any opportunity
for the decision to be known to the public until the
information leaked out.

The Baytown Sun has a responsibility along
with public officials in revealing and not revealing or
playing up or not playing up mattara not In good
taste and of a very personal nature.
But when representatives of The Sun are either
told not to attend a meeting or to leave a maetlng,
The Sun then Is relieved of its responsibility Of judg-
ing propriety of news and will print everything it can
find out about any secret meeting. /
The highest compliment The Baytown Sun has
ever been paid in this community came from R. H.
(Red) Pmett when he was mayor. ' ■
