Board «Equalization and State
Board of Health Interested
The state board of equalization. con .
slstin of Treasurer Freeman F Put- '
ten. outptroiier Thomas D. Brad-
street and Tax Commissioner William
H. Corbin. is now facing the task of
a valuation of the oyster grounds of
the state. This duty was put up to
the board by the General Assembly
of 1909 during the closing days of
that session. as the easiest possible
solution of a problem given to it by
Governor Woodruff. almost. in his last
official not.
There is reason for thinking that
the board of equelisation has ap-
proached the matter i serious spirit
and its members are a thinking un-
spoken and unwritten thoughts’as to
the make-up of the report to be given
to the General Assembly ‘of 1911. The
members have ventured their collec-
tive lives upon the waters of Long is-
laud Sound and have accumulated con-
siderable data through their own in-
vestigations to say nothing of that
obtained from the oyster growers, who
are looking at the question from a
somewhat different point of view from
the state ofllclals.
if the question of fixing the valua-
tion of the oyster grounds of the state
for the purposes of taxation seemed
a simple one at any time that time
was prior to the passage of the act
of 1909 which brought it to the at
tention of the board and it scents to
grow more and more complicated until
it has required the attention of an-
other set of officials who are in the
employ of the state board of health.
These officials are endeavoring to
Iiiid out just how much the oysters
in Long island Sound are contaminat-
ed by the streams of sewage which
are run into the waters of the Sound
from pretty much every river in the
state and they find that that question
has complications of its own because
it is a thoroughly demonstrated fact
that oysters thrive and fatten on diluic
sewage even if their little interiors are
filled with typhoid and other malevo-
lent bacilli.
it is also a fact that if oysters that
have been grown in such unhealthy
environment are taken out into the wo-
ters of the Sound for some distance
and transplanted to other beds they
Will cleanse themselves to that extent

single bacillus in a bushel of them.
speaking in large and general terms.
And it has been further proved that
oysters taken from suhc beds and
transplanted to beds in tireliarbor or
some Connecticut cities become can
laminated in ii short time.
Because of these complications ii
is obvious that the board of eqtmlisa»
tion cannot undertake to say what.
value should he placed upon the oys-
ter grounds of the state without hav‘
ing some idea of how nruch thum-
grounds are damaged by sewage and
the chances. therefore, favor a con-
ference between the board of curtail.
action and the state board of health be-
fore the former iriskes up its report.
it has been said that the officials of
the health board have confined their
investigations to the waters of New
Haven harbor and it that is the case.
there is a good deal of interesting ter-
ritory which has not as yet been ex-
plated such as the harbors of Bridge
port and Norwuik to say nothing or
the points cast of New Haven. it In
likely that there will be more investi»
xation later.
The facts abore cited coninin mat
tor for a good deal of speculation as.
for instance. to the action which the
oyster growers will take if it is proved
to them that their property Is dam-
aged by the sewage of some city. The
capacity ofv the oyster to thrive upon
sewage and than. it removed to pure
salt water, to cleanse itself rapidly is.
however. a mitigating feature it also
brings to mind the curious fact that
dealers In shell fish in the neighbor
hood of New London probably remem-
her about the long clams that once
grow on the hats off Promised Land.
Long island. Thai town had. until a
siren time saunas of the largest fish
oil factories the country and its
refuse of decayed fish and Ilah all ran
out over the dots. The long clams
grew in great quantities and of great
also in the flow of this filth. but they
were too reminiscent of it to be edible
and so they were undisturbed except
when new and then a man sent a few
barrels of them to the New York mar
but. always taking care not to send
a second consignment to the same
dealer.
The federal government is interest
Ing itself in the matter of the oyster
and may thus add another phase to
the situation by barring from later
state commerce any oysters that do
not come up to its standard which ser-
Iousiy affect the business of the grow-
ers. The oystermon in the South have
been quick to realise the fact and are
now asking for even more drastic
re uiations. feeling that their product
wl stsnd it. The outlook is that the
General Assembly. which will listen
to the troubles of various people. will
hear something from the oystsrinen
in the state. Before the matter ends
steps may be taken to make Connso‘
tioutrivers something more than open
