46. Whenever the game warden considers that it is necessary that
he should have deputy game wardens appointed to assist him in more
efficiently enforcing the game, wild life and fish laws of this State, he
may apply to the Conservation Commission to commission such persons
as he may designate to act as deputy game wardens in the counties and
cities of the State, to enforce the game, wild life and fish laws of this
State, and carry out all the provisions of this sub-title, such persons
may be appointed for the whole State or for such counties or cities as
the Conservation Commission shall designate. If the Conservation
Commission approve such persons they may appoint such persons deputy
game wardens; such deputy game wardens shall not receive a salary
from the State, cities or counties, but shall be paid such compensation
out of the State Game Protection Fund as the game warden may agree
with them, subject to the approval of the Conservation Commission.
In similar manner there may be appointed local game wardens in any
section or county of this State; such local game wardens shall not receive
a salary, but shall receive as their compensation one-half of all fines
derived from the prosecution of violators of the game and fish laws
arrested by them. All deputy and local game wardens shall perform
such other duties as the Commission may designate, including the
guarding of streams and waters of the State against pollution.*
