bill to Great the new bureau.

rangers will form part of the system,
while laws approved this year will
enable the Forestry Department to call
in wardens of other branches n the
State police to aid in fighting fires as

Doubles Treasury Work.-Some idea
of the manner in which legislation &C.
casionally affects a department of the
State government a be gained from
the statement by State Treasurer Rob
ert X. Young that new laws will re-
quire his department to issue six times
the numbe of checks that 1t has been
sending out each year. 1t is his esti-
mate that fully 800, 600 checks will be
required. In recent years approx
nately $4,000 checks have been issued
every twelvemonth. The semimonthly
a law will double the number of pay
checks and the new bounty law will
add 100000 to $4,000 more. Other
laws will add to the work of the de-
partment.
