JENNINGB ‘AO McMAl V18 10 POMLMAN 7 domains swan'rz SAVING A GREAT monarnv.“ ., The oyster situation is one of real importance to this city. it affects out of our greatest Industries, which stands in danger of being wiped out unless the city and health ofllcials give their CO-tlpel'iliiuii and assistance. That it is no small matter was readily apparent from.the harbor figures pre- sented last night by William F. Hoyt V at the meeting at which the onion dealers organized for the salvation of their dndustry. A business whose ,_ harbor tonnage more than equals : that of all other shipping com- ‘, bincd means something. The facts brought out by Mr. Hoyt ware really of a startling nature. He showed that ‘nwhllealie gross tonnage of the harbor for the past year was 1,047, 380 ions, the oyster industry furnished M3.663 tons. And these figures are made the more impressive when amount is ta- ken of the fact that of the remaining 493.717 tons, Zlndibn was furnished by the Standard Oil Company, who have an important distributing station at Wilson's l’oiut. These figures indicate that there should be no delay on the part of the local authdrities in aiding the oyster men in every way possible. The city dump and simiiiar nuisances use mai- ” tors, for. instance, which can be taken up iiilnlvdluioly. Northern grown oysters are the best in the world and Not‘wniit oysters are of particular quality. and it tics large iy iii the builds of the peoplel whether South Norwuilt shall retain this great Industry.

The oyster is a different proposition than a iisb or an animal, for he never digests nlth. 0a the contrary. be is a sort of sieve and retains what passes through his gills. On account of this hot. it in quite possible for the water in which he grows to contain a quan- lily of impurity not great enough to condemn it as below the required stan- dard, whereas the oyster may retain so much impurity that it will not meet the government pure food require merits. The city dump however, will not be the only sources of pollution attacks... according to the propos program for the purifying of the lee waters. Ev- cry effort will be made to eliminate the sewage of the regular sewer ayes tems into the Sound waters until they nova been treated to a septic process. A number of other sources of pollution were mentioned last night aside from the city dump and the sewers. The reguiat sewars are of course the his problem, but the other detrlnlsnts to the industry which can be most readily reached will be fought against Among those is mentioned, beside the city dump. dye stuff from the hat fac— tories in this city. the mills along the Norwailt River and an annual barge load of manure that is piled on the shore at Judah island in such a man- ner that the seepage gets back into the harbor and, it is claimed, is injurious to the oysters. ’l‘ho oystermen want the board of health to cooperate in every way pos alpha and to that end last night made the board associate members of the newiydormed association. Edward C. Huiberi, superintendent of the Seaishipt Oyster System, incor. ,Ioratcd wan elected last evening as president of the asstmlctlon, anti Wil- iium li‘ Hoyt was made secretary. “The , organization came about through the efforts of these two men. Messrs. “llJ’. port and Hoyt have discussed the per‘ lions position the industry has been placed in by the r lings of the govern- ment pure food deriartmcnt and it was plain to them that the local dealers must cooperate. Last night's meeting was the result. At Mr. lioyt's request, Mr. liulbcrt. who has been in consultation consider- Ihly with Dr. Stiles, the government expert. who attended a hearing hots a short time ago, and has made an ex- tensive study of the situation. address- 1d the assembled oy.stcrinen Mr Hui iert at the opening explained the ab- solutely high standard of product the Benishipt people insist on for the pro- duct of their own beds and said the sonic is required of the associate ship pers of the company. Absolutely there fun he no deviation from the standard. Therefore. if the oysters are not up to the standard, they cannot be used. At the same time, Mr. llulbert admit ted that the standard is unfair to the oystcrmen undoubtedly. But the gov- ernment makes the rcthiIcmcnt and it is up to the oystt-ruum to meet it. in other words. Mr. iiuibcri pointed mi that it is a conduit": and not a booty that the oystt-I'tucu must meet. If their oysters are up to the standard of purity well and good. if not they count soil their product. it takes no t-loqtieuceio explain lhai this Inraus :ht- oyslermen's iivoiihood and how necessary it is for them right now to .io everything in their poorer to stop the pollution of the waters of the Sound. A standard under the government re- quirement is that colon bacilli must not In pmsent in IL tenth of n coutcrinetcr ccutci‘luotor. it will be tolerated in ii cctucriueier, but not after a tcnth is separated and an analysis is made How serious the situation is may be tuthcrud from the developments of tin- past few days at Narragansett lily. when» it is feared that $500,000 worth of oysters are affected. Mr. iiulbert suggested a systematic analysis of the local waters and urged ‘hut the oyster-men create a fund to defray the expense or a sanitary sur- vey. This, he added. would be cheaper than to have the oystermcu do the work individually. While the present standard must be lived up to now. he believed steps should be taken to change it so that it will be more fair to the oystermou. While he was not of the Opinion that the oyptcriucn can get It court ill~ junction at the pithibili. development of the siluutlon to compel the municipali- ties to desist from emptying their new- 'if‘a into tho sound, he believed that they can be compelled to treat the sow- age and nullify it by passage thronuh i septic tank. lie was confident the local health board will cooperate with :hu oystermon.
