THIRTY-FIFTH UlRNNIAL REPORT 13 



resignation and to fill the two additional positions created by the 

 legislature. At the close of the biennium, therefore, the Board of Pish 

 and Game Commissioners consisted of Dr. E. C. Moore, President, 

 Newton Q. Booth, Commissioner; Raymond Grey, Commissioner; E. 

 L, McKenzie, Commissioner, and I. Zellerbach, Commissioner, and 

 Herbert C. Davis as Executive Ofiicer and Secretary to the Commission. 



One of the matters which your honoral)le board placed in the hands 

 of the Executive Officer for solution was that of adjusting the financial 

 structure of the Division of Fish and Game to conform with the fiscal 

 policy outlined by you during the thirty-fourth biennium, which policy 

 consisted of making each activity of the Division self-supporting as 

 far as possible, all money being returned to the fund from which it 

 came. For example, all money received from hunting license sales was 

 expended on the protection, propagation and administration of game; 

 money received from sport fishing licenses to the preservation, propa- 

 gation and planting of fish ; and the money received from commercial 

 fishing applied to the administration, propagation and preservation of 

 commercial fish in accordance with the Fish and Game Code. 



You asked that a further break down be made in this policy to 

 the end that each species of fish and game should have assigned to it 

 as far as possible that portion of the funds derived from hunting and 

 fishing licenses which statistics of the Commission indicated was paid 

 in by hunters and fishermen who hunted and fished for specific species. 

 I am happy to report to you that this fiscal policy has to a large extent 

 been placed in operation as far as conditions would permit. Complete 

 fulfillment of the policy can only come with time as we had certain 

 facilities for production which had to be carried on and adjusted gradu- 

 ally to meet the policy. 



I am submitting herewith a series of charts which I believe more 

 completely show the principals of your fiscal policy and the extent 

 to which it has been put into effect. Each chart is self-explanatory 

 and I will therefore not waste your time by attempting to describe 

 them here. The charts are based on experience factors and you will 

 note that they refer to the 91st and 92nd fiscal years which will be the 

 years that compose the thirty-sixth biennial period. These charts 

 were prepared at the time that the budget was written for submission 

 to the Legislature when thev convene in January, 1989.
