ALL DISPOSED
OF BY GOV. BOYLE

With one exception, all of the bills
remaining before Governor Boyle
Tuesday, which was the last day on
which executive action could be taken,
were either signed or vetoed. The
one exception was bill making one
of the members of the Esmeralda
county board of commissioners the
purchasing agent for that county at
salary of $50 per month. This bill
was allowed to become a law without
the Governors signature, says the
Reno Gazette.
Among the last bills signed by the
Governor were the two measures re-
lating to fish and game. One abol-
ishes the present State fish commits
sion and provides for commission
with authority over fish and game
affairs of the State. Tt also provides
for a State game warden, the COM
mission and the warden TO De named
by the Governor. The fish and game
commissioners serve without salary,
and the State fish and game warden
receives a salary of S1.800 per year,
with an allowance of $1,000 per year
for travelling expenses. The fish and
game commission, with the approval
of the various boards of county COM
missioners, name the various county
game wardens, whose salaries are
fixed at not less than s25 nor more
than 800 per month, This bill was
opposed by some county wardens who
feared their salaries might be re-
duced
VIII Make Several Appointments
Within the next ten days. it is oe-
lieved, the Governor will announce
appointees for the various commits
sions created by the last Legislature.
The personnel of the tax commission
is causing more comment than any
of the other appointments to be made.
The bill provides that the five men,
bers to be appointed by the Governor
shall come one each from the bank
ing, mining, land, cattle. and general
business voeations of the State. il
is the general belief that the banker
will come from Washoe county, that
Humboldt will obtain the land classi-
fication expert, that Elko county will
live stock, with Esmeralda and Nye
competing for the mining man, and
the possibility that Ormsby county
will provide the commissioner versed
In general business. For secretary OF
the commission, whose salary is t.
be $4,000 per year, it is rumored that
Dave Staunton, secretary of the Cat
tlemen's Association and former Sec
retary of the State racing commis-
sion, will be appointed
l.. F. Adamson, present secretary
of the tax commission, is believed tC
be in line for the position of actuary
of the State industrial insurance com
mission, the place vacated by DaT
Sullivan, whose commission as State
auditor has been signed by the Gov.
ernor.
The Governor also has to appoint
the three members of the State high
way commission. 1t is generally be
lieved that one of the commissioner!
will be selected from Reno, one from
the eastern part of the State-eithe
Elko or White Pine county-and th'
third from the south. either Esme
ralda or Nye county. The State high
way commissioners have the appoint
ment of the highway engineer.
Other appointments to be made b.
the Governor are the members of th'
uniform divorce commission, to con
sist of not less than three nor NOR
than five; the State game warden
and the State assayer. For the lat
ter position no one has been promi
nently mentioned as yet. but 1T i
generally expected that C. w. Glove
of Elko will be named as State gam
warden.
