GOV. BRYAN EXPLAINS
HIS NEW COUNCIL PLAN
Lincoln, Jan. S. Gov. C. W. Bry
an believes that his plan for an ex
ecutive council of constitutional of
ficers, replacing the code, has been
misunderstood with respect to the
matter of appointive powers.
For this reason Mr. Bryan called
newspaper men into conference today
and went more fully into details of
his program. Mr. Bryan said that he
did not intend it to be understood
that the governor contemplates ap
pointments in those departments of
the code assigned to various state of
ficers for administration.
The only appointments coming
within the powers of the governor
are those chiefs and head of bureaus
and agencies remaining under the
general direction of the executive
council. Mr. Bryan said that staffs
in the various agencies under the di
rection of constitutional officers
would be appointed by the official
under whose supervision they fell.
Mr. Bryan also indicated for the
first time that part of the inspec
tional activities conducted by the de
partment of agriculture might be as
signed to the College of Agriculture
for administration.
