Governor West announces some of tho changes in boards and commissions which he intends to submit to the people in the form of constitutional amend ments and initiative measures. Two of the principal changes aro the abol ishment of the office of state engi neer and the desert land board. But in proceeding to reduce the :ost of government by reducing the lumber of offices and commissions, the governor issued a note of warning that this should be done with careful study of results or state affairs might tie thrown into great confusion. He said each board and commission ihould be treated on its merits. He proposed the abolishment of the desert land board and the transfer- of its duties to the state land ward. In abolishing the office , of Hate engineer, his plan is for the itate water board, which would have wo members left, to elect n secre tary with qualification ot an engi neer. Appropriations for the desert land joard, state engineer and water loard by the last legislature amount- ad to $103,000. The governor said under his plan the appropriation for a biennial period need not exceed $50,000. Ho would abolish tho stato live stock sanitary board and leave the lutics lo be performed by tho sate veterinarian. The last legislature ippropriatcd $50,000 for this board me) he said this amount could he greatly reduced. The industrial welfare commission and tho board of inspection of child ahor he proposes to consolidate. The )ffice of stato biologist he would ibolish and also the stallion regis tration board, tho duties of which should be performed by the slate veterinarian. As there has been much complaint against the state hoard of horticul ture, and the State Horticultural So ciety, he said he would wipe them out Hid leave it for tho legislature to provide a satisfactory means for hor ticultural inspection. He said changes should be made regarding the board of pilot commissioners, which would reduce the expenses of the- board. E. B. HENRY BREAKS ARM CRANKING AUTOMOBILE E. B.
