Judge Elmer, in the Superior Court in Bridgeport, has heard arguments in the case of ii. J. Lewlsmf llridpeport, against the Hartford Dredging company. in the summer of infill, the Hartford Dredging company contracted to deliver to H. J. Lewis, of Bridgeport. 20,000 cubic yards of dredging material to spread upon his oyster grounds. Owing to a storm in the month of May, which injured the plant of the dredging company, it was Impossible to deliver the nnxouut of soil required, and the company was unable to procure another plant to perform the work to the satisfaction of Mr. Lewis. A» a consequucnce. Mr. Lewis claimed that he was unable to plant about 150 Acres of oyster grounds that season, and In his suit subsequently brought against the dredging company. places his dam- ages at .50 an acre for the land which was not planted. Mr. Lewis, on the stand. testified that oyster grounds planted with materials ready to "catch a not" was worth from $50 to Still an acre regardless of the “set.” lie had other large planters who testified to the same effect. Ex—llongressman Lewis Sperry, who Is counsel for the dredging company, then produced the tax lists of the year land, which was the year In question, wherein it appeared that Mr. Lewis had sworn that cultivated oyster grounds were worth only tilt an acre. As Mr. Lewis cultivates about 2,500 acres, the discre- pancy in tax values would amount to about 3125.000, and would make a differ- ence to the State on a tax of 1% per cent. which the amendment of two authorises. of “.875. This brings up the much vexed ques— tion as to the rate at which oyster grounds must be taxed, which has been so ffl‘ quently discussed in the legislature.
