Buckley had already given notice OF

This would be a month earlier than

a resolution would predicate final ad-

But the character of bills CARRYING

that the appropriations committee will

much time.
May Consolidate Several
Unusually large numbers of bills
can be consolidated under one bill by
reason OF altered conditions in the
state. For instance yesterday many
fish and game bills were offered. As
the state association of fish and game
clubs will stand by the state fish and
game commission which has endorsed
the ideas of Superintendent j. w. Tit
comb on preservation and propaga-
tion of fish and game on changes in
game law and for administration Il
may be expected that individual bills
will be subordinated to those bills
which will carry out the new policy.
Many bills already are said by mem
bers to be slated for quick action and |
disposal.
State Police Changes
One such offered today provides
that the state police commission shall
be abolished and the department plac- /,
ed under Superintendent Robert Hur- !
ley. The commissions own bill to in /
crease the force to 10 men reat in
on Tuesday. Comment by members
today was that they did not look with
favor on a one-man commission when
the present commission receives no

bers are heads of other departments .
