Delegates Retain Merit System For Conservation Commission
In Raleigh County area high schools engineers push prerequisites to entice boys into engineering courses. Appalachian Chapter WV Society of Professional Engineers held a meeting at El Chico with speakers urging active engineer participation, proper registration, and society membership amid calls for a study of the Conservation Commission. A split vote defeated a bill to remove Merit System supervision from Conservation Commission staff, while a Senate version passed without action.
