Two Mergers of Board of County
Commissioners Thought to Ne Fa-
vorab1e to Removal of Present

The county commissioners yesterday
temporarily postponed and ordered filed
for future reference the petition which
was filed by large number of sports
men and taxpayers of the city and
county petitioning for the removal of
the present, and the appointment of a
new, game warden for King county. The
failure of the petitioners to secure an i'm
mediate compliance with their request
was the signal for much regret when
the action of the board was announced
yesterday. The sportsmen who are ac-
lively engaged In promoting the matter
claim that unless immediate steps are
taken toward vigorous enforcement of
the game laws thousands OF young game
birds, which are at the present time un-
able to fly. and are consequently at the
mercy OF game law violators, will be
ruthlessly slaughtered between now and
the open season, which begins on Aug
ust Is.
II Is understood that both Commission
ers ellison and Boyce are favorabiy dis
posed toward the granting OF the petition,
and have assured several prominent
sportsmen who approached them yester-
day that II will eventually receive their
support when the matter Is recalled for
consideration.
The petition itself is strongly worded.
and cites many instances wherein the
game laws are alleged to have been nag
