In December 1940 the natural resources of Maryland were ad-
ministered by nine separate conservation agencies. The General As-
sembly which met in January 1941 consolidated these nine agencies
into five equal Departments (Code 1947 Supp., Art. 19A, sees. 5-12G),
namely, Department of Tidewater Fisheries, Department of Game
and Inland Fish, Department of State Forests and Parks, Depart-
ment of Geology, Mines and Water Resources, Department of Re-
search and Education. The Bureau of Mines, formerly attached to
the Department of Labor and Industry, was placed under the De-
partment of Geology, Mines and Water Resources.

The same act which established these five Departments also created
the Board of Natural Resources to coordinate and integrate the ac-
tivities of these Departments (Code 1947 Supp., Art. 19A, sees. 1-4).
The Board is composed of five ex-officio and eight appointive mem-
bers. The ex-officio members are the Chairman of the Commission
