STATE HAS CONNECTED UP

George r. Bishop. manager OF the
Stambaugh Development Bureau, was
chosen by the directors Of the Upper
Peninsula Development Bureau TO be
their secretary-manage at a meeting
held last Saturday at Marquette. John
Doelle, when Mr.. Bishop succeeds, go
es to Lansing as a manager for the
state agricultural department and
will give some OF his attention to the
upper peninsula work. The change
takes place October 7.
The meeting OF the directors was
called for the purpose of listening to-
tho proposition which the state had TO
make and TO pass final judgment upon
the move. The proposition put up to
them was as follows: the state will
practically take over the upper PENN
snla organization making 1t the bran
ch OF the state department OF agri-
culture from which the agricultural
work in the upper peninsula will be
directed. II the states proposition
should be accepted the state areed to
contribute $4,000 per year towards the
support OF the bureau, that money to be
used in paying the salary OF the sec
retary and office expenses. The pro-
position was made by ii. II. Halliday,
state commissioned OF agriculture.
Needless is II TO say that the dir
ectors very quickly accepted the pro-
position made by Mr.. Halladay and
fixed October / as the date for the
change to take place. Mr.. Doelle an
nounced his decision TO go with the
state agricultural department with the
understanding that he will devote more
OF less OF his time 10 upper peninsula
work. Mr.. Doelle recommended Mr.
Bishop as his successor, and the dir
ectors actedupon his suggestion by
electing Mr.. Bishop TO the position.
TO Raise $4,000 Additional
The bureau heads decided that in
addition to the So 600 state contribu-
tion the organization would need $685..
900 annually to effectively carry on
its work. Flans were made TO raise
$4,000 TO cover a three-year period
the amount to be apportioned among
the fifteen counties. Population, bank
deposits, assessed valuations and bus
mess conditions will be taken into
consideration in the apportionment.
The directors look upon the new
arrangement with the state depart
ment OF agriculture as an important
step for the upper peninsula from the
standpoint OF agricultural develop
ment. II means not only that the up
! per peninsula organization will be
directly connected with the state, and
therefore be in line TO get its share
OF the benefits from all statewide
projects, but also that the Interests OF
the upper peninsula, through the bu-
reau's office In Marquette. will be
looked after by Mr.. Doelle who knows
the upper peninsula, and who can do
much 10 help the district through his
position as head OF the state bureau
and as a member OF the state board OF
agriculture, which Office he will take
January /.
