Although the police board, on or- ganizing, made the pledge that all mntmgn would be open to the press, the members met last night and held a lengthy and, it is said, somewhat heated at times, discussion relative to the selection of a police chief to suc- ceed W, J. Rawlings next month, While last night's meeting was prac- tically a “star chamber session,” the board takes refuge behind the tech- nicality that no business was transact- ed. The contention of the board is that the meeting was only informal and to get opinions and that all for- mal meetings will be open to the press. Furthermore, the board rein- forces itself by referring to its orig- inal asserted policy of reserving the right to go into executive session at any time. Be that as it may, however, the one fact that stands ont as undisputed is that the police bonrd today stands deadlocked a s choice for a new chief of pol Mayor Paonessa at- tended last 1...t's session, but even he was unable to bring about a defin- ite decision, try though he is report- ed to have done.
