J. Morley, early last night. Shortly after issuing an executive order, abolishing the department headed by Lewis N. Scherf and re voking the cOmmissions of the “dry agents,” Governor Morley approved the 1926 highway budget, with sev- eral: major changes, and abolished the maintenance and purchasing de- partments as well as the office of highway department auditor, The highway budget, as approved by the governor, calls for the ex- penditure of $4.550,000 during 1926. Governor Morley's action in abol- ishing the departments was actuated, ‘e said, by a desire to effect econ- omies in the administration of high way funds and to “wipe the state prohibition enforcement slate clean and start all over again.” Howéver, SPORT BRIEFS WILMINGTON, Cal.—Buck Hol- ey, Los Angeles middleweight, took every round and the decision in a ten round bout with Kid Mexico, Huntington Beach, here tonight. the executive did not disclose any plans he had in mind for th> re- habilitation of the enforcenient de- partment. 2 “It is for the best interests of the state to rescind the commissions,” the governor declared tw explaining why he revoked the commissions of his 200 executive agents. who had been personally appointed and clothed with authority to carry arms and enforce the laws of tho state with “all the powers of sheriffs and listrict attorneys”.
