The commission explains its funding method, noting it uses money from the general fund similar to other agencies but without direct legislative control. Revenue comes from hunting and fishing licenses and federal aid from a tax on sporting equipment, with land options obtained first.
Director George Shields says the Maisland Game Commission bought and developed more than 50,000 acres without legislative knowledge or authority. A five member House committee led by Del Thomas Lowe reviews purchases dating back decades, noting hatchery lands at Lewistown were acquired 1916.
A surveyed appraisal is prepared and if agreeable and legal a deed is drafted. The deed goes to the Board of Public Works for approval then to the State Attorney General for clearance. Upon meeting all conditions the land is purchased. The till plan to place the commission under legislative control is under study by Del Lowe's committee.
The commission and Shields sa'd the Board had no comment on joining the general fund. A bill provision favored by the commission calls for a Legislature appropriation equal to last year’s license sale revenue, with the state matching federal funds to keep government money flowing to the commission.
