CHANGES ANTICIPATED FROM
HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, June 25.-The
work of revising the horticultural laws
of the state by the special commission
named by Governor Gillett has been
taken up and the next meeting Will
be held at Sacramento, July 10. One
change which probably will be made
will be to have only one commissioner
in each county, he to be one of the
regular county officials and his salary
to be rated according to the class Of
the county, as is the rule with all other
county officers.
Another thing that the legislature
will be asked to do will be to provide
a contingency fund for meeting emer-
gencies such as the recent white fly
trouble. 1t will be recommended that
the money be used by the state COM
missioner only with the consent of the
governor. This would avert the delay
experienced last year in the white fly
fight because of lack of funds, which
at that time had to be provided by
private subscription, the bills now be-
ing paid by the Citrus Protective
league.
