Show CURRENT HAPPENINGS As Reported by Utah State FISH & GAME DEPARTMENT Conservation Meet Called National conservation leaders present agreed unanimously last week upon a proposed act to clarify and consolidate the multiple use policy for national forests and public lands, according to Director J. Perry Egan of the Utah Department of Fish and Game. The proposed lgeislation is expected to be introduced to the national legislatures early in 1953, following final approval by conservation agencies and organizations represented at the meeting held in Washington, D. C., Egan said. The director attended as chairman of the public lands committee for the International Association of Game and Fish Commissioners. The meeting was called by the National Wildlife Federation. It was attended by major conservation organizations from through- out the United States. Chukar Partridge Releases A total of 14,5SO chukar partridge were released at carefully chosen planting sites during 1954. These and other figures are shown in a final report for the current year from the Utah Department of Fish and Game. All these birds were raised at the two state bird farms located in Price and Springville. In addition, another 40 wild chukars were released during the year as they were flown to Utah from Turkey in a continuing cooperative project with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The .first releases of chukars under the present intensive program to establish this fine game bird in Utah were made in 1951. That year 401 birds were planted. Figures for the two following years show 3,1m birds released in 1952 and 3,1X10 during 1953. During those two years wild Turkish chukars received and planted brought the total number of this species released to 1101. The figures show of the 23,221 birds released so far two-thir- ds during this program to have been planted during the last year. Department spokesmen note the full use of the Springville farm this year for jhpfirst time and improved hatching and ' rearing methods gained over the earlier three years that ample brood stocks are being carried through the winter months at both farms to insure an increased release of chukars next year. All told, releases have now it been made into 42 planting sites distributed over 23 counties of the state. Field surveys this year indicate successful reproduction in nearly all areas planted prior to this year and where the birds have had an opportunity to nest and raise wild broods of young.

Perry Egan. .Recent completion of a north wing to the older building at 139G West North Temple in Salt Lake City has allowed for a much needed realignment of office space for each division within the department. The construction project was started last spring upon approval of the Commission. Included in the addition are permanent record and fur storage vaults, laboratory space for. research, as well as office rooms for the engineering .division staff and biologists presently covering the states fisheries inventory project. .The present addition answers a current need begun many years ago, when a shortage of space at the State Capitol Building resulted in Department of Fish and Game offices being moved into the Salt Lake City business district. Crowded conditions there found the department purchasing the present building fend site from the State Road Commission. Space is now adequate to house all department headquarters operations and at the same time provides ample parking space for all who may call.
