mom of the present commissioners and
clerk of shell llsheri :or. if for political
or other reasons it v impossible to m- .
appoint Mr. Beardsley, to petition the.
governor not to appomt any person who I
would be objectionable or injurious to:
the interests of the. oyster gmwdrs.
Third—Totakcnotc of and look outi
for auyfllegislation whzeh would aft‘octé
the interests of the oyster growers. I
Fourth—To ofler and advocate theé
oyster police bill. ‘
First, With refdibncc to the consolidav =
tion of the commipions. your committee '
are able to rcpofla‘n entire success. ‘
We coxivinced‘flle committee on tish- ,
cries of tho i priety of the cousoli~ ;
dation of these missions. so far as it .
related to shell cries. ()uropponeuts'
seeing that they were defeated. with-i
drew their bill. and substituted nnotherl
which bore no. relation to the interests;
of oyster growers. ‘ :
Second—With 'Vrelatitmto the reap-v.
pointinent of the shell fish commissiou- ;
crs and clerk. members of your commit.
tee had several interviews with the:
governor, and faithfully presented your.
views to him. They urged that the .
present shell fish ' commissioners and‘
clerk are cmoleat. Whose-like anti '
economical public officers: that they §
have performed their duties justly and;
faithfully; and that the oyster growers;
would be well pleased to have them re- I
appointed. ' .. .
As we have had . ‘ for , iolitical ‘
reasons it might not practi . In for
the governor to reappoint Mr. Beanlslcy.
we added that, if this proved to be the:
case. we trusted that the governor would .
a point some one who had at least
s own no antagonism to the interest of
the oyster growers. and who- would not
be objectionable to them.
We stated that some. of thc commis-
sioners prior to 1890'had spent a great
deal of money untiécessarily, and as it
was the general impression that the
money was slxxutr'forltho lsrnefit of the
oyster growers-«do erroneous impres-
smn). and the state virtually charged it
to their iwcounti’fvtc should regret to
see men with such records appointed.
Your ctmunitté'éhllfio gave such other
infonnation regarding persons who
were. known to be candidates for the, po-
sition. as we thought would be useful to
the governor in limiting hisdccision.
Third—Your committee gave due at-
tcntionin regard to several othcr inat-
tors which came before the lishen'cs
c- nnmittec and committee on judiciary.
One. was with iefereucc to the polution
of rivers and harbors by SilllslimCL‘S de-
structive to iish and shell fish. Another
with reference to an amendment to the
law for seizure of boats unlawfully used
in the oyster industry. Another was
with reference to the appointment of an .
inspector for the natural oyster beds.
Your committee would say. however,
in this connection. that the oyster grow-
ers failed to attend the meetings for.
conference in such numbers as would
be desirable. ‘It is essential to our suc- I
cess in any legislative matters, that the;
members should come to the meetings. 2

fourth—With reference to the oyster
police bill: It has been an exceedingly"
(lifiicult .ussion to procure the. passage.
of such.a bill, because there has been a
great outcry in behalf of "economy." .
You doubtless have seen in the papers
a‘great deal of agitation on the subject
of “economy." Your committee have
therefore had a very strong influence to
meet in this respect.
Secondly—Your committee went. to
the fisheries committee and to the gen-
eral assembly solely on the merits of
the. bill. without the employment of any ;
lobby. In the opinion of experienced
legishitors. opposition was offered by
some for this reason. Some honest men
in the House were led to oppose us upon
the claim that this was “an nmust
measure"-—-“speoial legislation." etc.
Every possible difficulty has been at
in our way by certain influences. I’ve,
were. obliged to work diligently to offset I
‘ this opposition.
We succeeded in securing what was
supposed to be an unanimous report in '
favor of our billbythe committee on
fisher-its; but later. through outside in»
“11811095, two members of the. committee;
made a minority report adverse to new
