LAND DIVISION
PLANS CHANGED
Efficiency Commission SubcOm-
mittee Recommends Division
Into Six Bureaus.

Several changes in the plan of
organization of a state department
to have charge of public lands and
public works will be proposed to the
state efficiency commission by the
subcommittee on public domain. In
stead of four main divisions under
the supervision of a director, after
conferences with State Forester w.
T. Cox, Drainage Engineer E. V. Will
lard, State Highway Engineer George
w. Cooley, and other state officials,
the committee is convinced that road
making and drainage cannot be ham
died by one engineer and that the
state forester should not be charged
with the task of protecting game fish.
> Six Bureaus Planned.
Under the revised plan there will be
bureaus of land and mines, forests,
game and fish and public works. The
land department will be relieved Of
timber scaling and the care Of tim
Der, which will be turned over to the
state forester and also will be relieved
of the states water resources which
will go with drainage until such a
time as they grow important enough
to require separate bureau.
1t will be recommended that the
game and fish bureau be given much
larger appropriation so as to enable
it to increase greatly the capacity of
the fish hatcheries. The members of
the commission not only agreed that
greater attention should be given to
stocking the larger lakes, but that
the state also should undertake to
propagate fish in the small farm lakes
and ponds. Another duty should be
to encourage the protection Of fur
bearing animals so that Minnesota
again may become one of the best
sources of fur supply. This is re-
garded feasible, as the state has large
tracts of land which never can be
farmed but are ideal breeding places
for all manner Of wild animals.
At the head of the bureau of public
works it is planned to place an archi-
tect with supervision Of the construc-
ton of every building erected by the
state for any purpose whatever.
Advisory Board Proposed.
The members of the committee are
firmly convinced that this department
should be supplemented with an ad
visory board, which might be called
the public domain commission or
something equally distinctive. This
body not only could recommend and
initiate general policies to the d.
rector of the department, but would be
the appellate body indisputes arising.
between the director and citizen, as
to the location and character of high
ways, Of drainage bitches, manner Of
enforcing the game laws, the scaling
of timber and thousands of other
questions that now are considered by
the forestry, timber and drainage
boards, the highway commission and
the game and fish commission.
