COMMITTEE made up of members of Grand Jury panels, A calling itself. “The Association of the Grand Jury,” proposes lo exercise watchful eupervision over the business of the fty—“to keep a constant lookout for all forms of wrongdoing in aunicipal or private organizations.” A large order—but the idea is to éxtend the subjects of Grand fury investigation by adding to the sources of information and the teans of inquiry open to any one Grand Jury. The Association also ex- to have public officials appear before it and explain the workings @ their departments when the Grand Jury may be casting its eye in ach directions. So far it’s a good enough pian. But why let it be understood hatthe committee is to prowl] and spy and formulate dark and mys- trious decreés? It is said to be the Lope of the promoters “to have roat if not all of the important subjects that are acted on by a Grand fury first subjected to discussion in the secret deliberations of the trand Jury committee.” Ifthe promoters are wise they will hasten to dispel the impression hat the committeo looks upon itself as a Star.Chamber or a Secret fguncil of Inquisitore, What the city wants is mone frank, open, day- ight discussion of its affairs—not whispering commnittecs that gloat vér mothods of stealth, secrecy and espionage. 5 Ho. ¢ More time and money are asked fer to complete the Mu- .
