THIRTY-FOURTH BIENNIAL REPORT 13 



REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER TO THE BOARD OF 

 OF FISH AND GAME COMMISSIONERS 



Your Executive Officer is pleased to report that during the past 

 l)it'iniiiiMi the Division of Fish and Game has accomplished the 

 reorganization directed hy yon. Tlie Division now consists of six 

 bureaus as follows : 



Bureau of Fish Conservation, Dr. J. 0. Snyder, Chief. 

 Bureau of Game Conservation, J. S. Hunter, Chief. 

 Bureau of Patrol, E. L. Macaulav, Chief. 

 Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, N. B. Scofield. Chief. 

 Bureau of Hydraulics, John Spencer, Chief. 

 Bureau of Licenses, H. R. Dunbar, Chief. 



The scope of work of each bureau has been definitely extended so 

 that your entire program of fish and game management is well under- 

 way. The six bureau heads now constitute a working cabinet through 

 which your personnel is all directed and your program carried out. 

 Your Executive Officer acts as coordinator of the activities of the vari- 

 ous bureaus and as liaison between these directing heads and your- 

 selves. 



Your Executive Officer is submitting as a part of his report a brief 

 summary of the activities of each of these bureaus during the bien- 

 nium. In addition, your Executive Officer is submitting a detailed 

 report of each bureau. 



During the biennium, certain economies have been effected in the 

 executive office. The po.sitions of assistant executive officer, lecturer, 

 publicity man and chief, Bureau of Research and Education, have been 

 abolished and no new positions created to take their place, thus reduc- 

 ing the salary and expense account item from approximately $18,000 

 per year to $7,000 per year. 



In addition, it is our belief that tlie total output in terms of effort 

 and fish and game has been materially increased through reorganiza- 

 tion and revitalization with no appreciable increase in personnel and 

 expense. 



Your new fiscal policy which consisted of making each activity of 

 the division self-supporting as far as possible has been put into effect. 

 The budget for the coming biennium has been written under this 

 policy. All money received from hunting licenses being returned to 

 the protection, preservation, propagation and administration of game; 

 and the money received from fishing licenses to the protection, 

 preservation, propagation and administration of fish ; the money 

 received from commercial fisheries is already restricted by law to the 

 protection, preservation, research and administration of commercial 

 fisheries. 



During the biennium, your executive officer has made two trips 

 outside the State of California. One in September, 1935, to Santa Fe,
