except as necessitated by reduced
appropriations.
“Until advised contrary, districts
will function according to present
procedure.
“Information as to details of the
transfer are not yet available but
meanwhile present members of the
commission desire to assure the
entire organization that so far as
is known, the impending change is
not due to disatisfaction with the
manner in which the work has been
performed. In fact, the Secretary
of the Interior stated the transfer
has not been urged as a matter of
economy, but in the interest of ef
fective coordination of related ac
tivities now handled by two depart
ments and that the endeavor would
be to continue the efficient opera
tion maintained by the existing or
ganization.”

buds and will eat this feed to the
