Matter Was Discussed for Three Hours in Secret Session, the Mayor Being Opposed to Publicity. SO 1Y The Board of Park Commissioners, con- sisting of A. B. Spreckels (president), Rueben H. Lloyd, Jasper McDonald, F. W. Zelle and John A. Stanton, met in the red room of the Bohemian Club last even- ing. The board was in session from § un- til 11 o’clock. Mayor Phelan attended the meeting and objected to the presence of newspaper representatives. Thereupon Commissioner Zelle moved that the board go into execu- tive session, and the motion prevailed. The meeting was called to consider Mayor Phelan’s proposition to convert the Park lodge into a branch of the Free Pub- lic Library. The subject was discussed in all its re- lations to_Golden Gate Park, the public | and the Free Library. The unanimous conclusion was reached that the proposed scheme was impractieable. Reference was made to the fact that space is re- quired at the Park Lodge for maps and records of the commission; that office y cretary and S room for the | use of the board s necessa nd that | facilities for weighing and receiving sup- | plies should be maintained. No good rea- | presented for the establishment | of a branch of the Public Library in Golden Gate Park, hence it was the sense of the meeting that the existing order Mayor Phelan's desire for star chamber proceedings can be readily explained. He is opposed to public light on general prin- ciples. The example of the Park Com- mission in going into. secret session for the transaction of public business is re-| grettable. The trust committed to the management of the Park Commissioners cne in which all of the people of San Francisco are concerned. 1t is absurd to | conceal from the public anything that re- lates to the proposed embellishment, im- provement or_ management of. Golden Gate Park. The charter contemplates that public business shall be openly con- ducted. The only board that is permitted to hold secret sessions is _the Board of Police Commissioners. Even the Board of Health recognized the charter require- ment for open sessions and in order to evade the law adopted the plan of com- mittee reference and provided that the committee should consist of the entire board. The Park Commissioners may evade the spirit and meaning of the charter by holding executive sessions, but if they fol- low the example given last night they will surely forfeit the confidence of the people. No good was ever a mplished by secret methods of dealing with public business. Child Burned to Death. Mary Hortal, a three-year-old child, died yesterday morning from burns re- ceived through playing with matches on the previous night at the residence of her parents on Maple street, between Persia and Prussia. Her mother went out to visit a neighbor, and the girl and her companions found the matches and began to ignite them. The dress of the little one caught fire and she was severely burned. She lingered all night and died early in the morning. The body is at the Morgue. ADVERTI SEMENTS. ELEGANT SILRKS: LOW/ PRICES.
