Administration Bill Is Passed

The administration bill which gives
Idaho practically a commission form
of government was finally passed by
the legislature Thursday The meas
ure goes into effect on March 31st
The bill passed was not in its orig
inal form as passed by the senate. In
the house some opposition occurred
and a compromise was effected by
which a series of amendments were in
troduced to eliminate some official
commissions and boards from the con-
solidation scheme. These are the
public utilities commission, the in
dustrial accident board, the state hsh
and game department and the state
mine inspector.
Only one other state in the union
has anywhere near the same form OF

in that state the consolidation plan is
said to have given the greatest sat
