Show SPORTSMEN PROPOSING NEW SET-UP Commission Form of Administration ,. Is Proposed. . Reorganization of the state fish, and game administration administra-tion to place the control under un-der a non-political, appointive commission of seven members mem-bers with all employes on a civil service basis, was urged before the Utah county-Democratic county-Democratic central committee, Friday night by a group of Provo sportsmen, headed by Mark Anderson An-derson of Provo. The other members of the group were J. William Knight, Dr. Vasco M. Tanner and Charles Madsen, all of Provo. Named By Governor . The set-up advocated is now operating op-erating on a somewhat similar plan in 30 states, it was pointed out by the speakers for the change. Utah is one of four states to still adhere to the old plan of administering adminis-tering fish and game affairs. The commission, under the proposed pro-posed plan, would be appointed by the governor, with all parts of the state represented. The commissioners commis-sioners would not be paid. The ap- pointment of the state fish and game commissioner and the other employes of the department, as well as the determining of the policies of the wild life conservation, conserva-tion, would constitute the chief duties of the commission. "We need trained men in the fish and game department' said Mr. Anderson, who made the principal prin-cipal argument in behalf of the plan. "I am not interested in kicking one politician out and putting put-ting another in his place. Fish and game administration is a highly high-ly technical profession, requiring men who have had special training, train-ing, as in the forest service. " The county executive committee which was asked to place the recommendations rec-ommendations of the group before the state committee and the incoming in-coming administration, iVas not prepared to take any action on the matter at Friday's meeting. |
