mission is a subject solely within
the control of the commission it
self. Notice OF the time and place
of any meeting having been duly
given to each member of the COM
mission. A meeting held PURSUANT

whether it be considered as an ad-
journed regular meeting or as a
special meeting, is legal meet
ing. A meeting held withon a no.
tice at which ali members are
present and conserving thereto, is
likewise a legal meeting.
Another held that the person du-
ly appointed as acting state geol-
ogist who has qualified and is per-
forming the duties of state geol-
ogist, as that position was known
at the time of the creation of the
state highway commission. is ex-
officio, a member of that commits
