At a called meeting of the State Fish and Game Commission, held at Sacra- mento on December 8, 1916, Carl Wester- feld, fish and game commissioner since November, 1911, resigned as commis- sioner and Mr. Edward L. Bosqui of San Francisco was appointed by Governor Johnson to fill the vacancy. The com- mission then appointed Mr. Westerfeld as executive officer to succeed Ernest Schaeffle, who resigned in September, 191G. All who know Mr. Westerfeld are congratulating the commission on its choice and the whole state on its good fortune in obtaining the services of so capable a man. Carl Westerfeld was born in San Fran- cisco and has lived in that city all of his life, with the exception of the few years spent at college. He took his A.B. at Yale University in 1893, and in 1896 3—27333
