resources, such word, phrase, or reference shall hereafter be deemed to refer to, include, and
describe the commissioner of natural resources, or officers or employees of the commissioner.

Resources is deemed and held to constitute a continuation of the Office of the Surveyor General
as to powers and duties of the surveyor general transferred by Laws 1967, chapter 568, and not a

and the funds so allocated are reappropriated therefor.
