The report of the investigation of oyster properties‘of the state 'by the Board of constitution us a ‘speclal commission appointed ’by the General Assembly of 1009, has been sent to the governor and the General Assembly for ititolr consideration. The Board of Equalization consists of Hon. Freeman F. Patten (late treas- urer), chairman; Thomas D. Brad- street. comptroller. and William H. Corbin. tax commissioner. The re port is an elaborate consideration of the entire subject and one which in its thoroughness is admirable.

The Board fin- ally looi'tnod for such purposes Cap-l tain Ill. Frank lackwood. of Cos Cob. Connecticut. He'ls a‘ man of large ox- perlenoo. in'tbe oyster business. which was followed by his father and which had boots continued by him for forty years or more. He has a definite knowladgo‘ of practically all the oytscr ground ‘in‘Conneoticut. and has bought ,. and sold ‘a large amount of such land.

The experimenter is the owner. it Is not. for his inter- est to disclose the value of ills property to the assessor. The only other incline of ascertaining this fact is hearsay evidence. pure and simple. The clerk of the Shell Fish Commission. who is the assessor. is not a practical oyster- man and never has been, and no per- son who has been the official assessor during the history of the Oyster law has ever claim'ed io have/ any practical knowledge of the value of the property upon which he has placed a valuation. nor any information except what has come to him either from the owner himself or from other persons whose opinions may or may not be of value. Complaints have been made that the assessments have been unjust in some cases. The wonder is that these com- llialnts have been as few as they have been. The tribunal which then takes up the matter is the Shell Fish Com- misaion acting as a board of relief. and him again no one with any prac- tical knowledge. or claiming to have any such knowledge, sits in judgment on this question. The only testimony that is advanced in nine cases out of ten in the testimony of interested wit~ nestles who would be more than illi- man if they did not studiously seek to make it appear that the valuation is excessive. To apply the same rllle of valuation to property out of sight. which no one has an opportunity lo examine except the owner of it, conditions an to which are unknown and must be ult- knovm because of the fact that it would cost more to examine into them than the tax would amount i0. is lit. tle short of ridiculous. This law 8001“! to have been based on the taxation law applied to real property. but any .one can see that the conditions arc 'totally diverse. in the case of real lpl‘operfy ii is in sight of every man. it. into a known selling value ascer- tained either by the selling price of the property itself or other prOperty similarly situated. in the case of oys- tcr ground. however. it is n signlil‘ cant fact that very little of the best ground has chsugod hands since the oyster law was passed ill 1 l. and in the few cases whens trans rs have been made no one has known any- thing about the actual selling price excepting the parties interested. There is obviously no analogy between mai property on shore and" oyster fran- chises located many feet under water. so far as placing the valuation upon them by taxing authorities is concern ed. Now Taxing' Reoommendsthns. The question then is. can any better system be devised? 'l‘ilc anaww- is. yes. The [Allliilllnii system has been Iin successful use there fur many years mod is in all respects more logical |alld fairer. both to the owner and to libs state. This plan with acute illuihs lficniiolln is seriously recommended as lfnllows: i. Place a flat valuation on all lground under stille- jurisdiction of any £le per acre. 2. Place a producrivciy tax of two or three cents a bushel upon all seed or other oysters taken from any grounds in this state for sale. or for the purpose of removing the same out of the state. 3. Require a daily rt to be made by the captain person in charge of every boat or vessel engag- ed in dred ing oysters-thls report to be made lrcctiy to the Shell Fish Commission and without inspection by the owner or manager of the prop— erty from which the product is taken; also another report to be made quar- terly by the owner or the ground to the Commission covering the some field. . «i.

The real test as to such valuation is productivity. if around um“. well. it ought to be made to y accordingly .to the state. if it ombuosl asthma. than it would have to any «thing except iiio'fiftoon mills on a valuation of bid as specified. saw of courts. ’lf the ground produo all nothing. the owner mini l'oiosoo it'to tits stats in accordance with the limotlt law practice.

Natural Oyster Beds. Tho statutes provide that certain so- cailed natural oyster grounds shall be designated and. reserved for the use and benefit of all persons. residents of this state. who shall take out an annual license in accordance with sec- tion 3234 of the General Statutes. The payment required for such ll- ceuse shall be $2 for every vessel or boat under five tons, and for ii vessel or boat exceeding five tons, fifty cents for each additional toll, subject to conditions rclnlive to size of boat. weight of dredge, power. etc. also owner's length of residence ill the state. There are nine such natural beds designated in Section 3214 of the Gen- erai Statutes as follows: Cormoli Roof Natural Bell. 15 acres; Port Chester Bed. 2iii acres: .‘eill Captains island Natural lied. 152 news; Field Point Natural lied. at acres; Greenwich Point Natural Bed, 403 acres; Fulrfleld Bar and Foirileld Natural lied. (till acres; Strntford Nut~ oral Bed. 3,055 acres; Roton Point and Fish island Natural Beds, 307 acres. The total acreage being 5.- 805 acres. or the beds mentioned above only the last four are buoyed by the state. and are. therefore. the only ones that are worked to any considerable ex- tent. Originally all these beds were very productive. but the effect of con- tinllai use and their present condition is well described by Mr. H. Frank ‘Vood. into superintendent of the Bu~ can of Marine Fisheries of the State of New York. who is entirely familiar with all the oyster grounds in Long island Sound. He says: “it is no secret that the natural shell fish lands under public waters of the state have been scraped and rak- cd into condition of almost eniirc dc. pletioll. until very few traces can be found of beds which could under the statutory definition be said to be of natural umwth. 'l‘his disappearance of natural growth shell fish is not strullgc or wonderful. for it must be remembered that men. while giving nothing back and doing nothing to destroy the enemies of the shell fish. have raked entire bays and arms of the scat bare of their product. tints destroying the balance of nature by use of the most radical ulcsns fer the annihilation of oysters and clams." The actual condition. therefore. of tho Gouncciicut natural beds is that only four out of nine are considered to be of sufficient importance to buoy. and of these only a suihll part. of the acreage is now productive. The con tinustion of the present method or use would soon result, undoubtedly. in complete Impoverlahlneni of these beds. (in the other hand a change in the policy by the slate towards tilt-ac beds and the adoption of the leasing sys- tem will give an opportunity for the development of these natural oyster- pruduciug arena. bilowing the scicuil- fir method used by the private owners. until they would become the largest producing and most valuable oysicr grounds in Long island Sound. There is an oyslcrulan's story to the effect that one man offered 860.000 per year its an annual rental for one of the more prolific of the natural beds for a form of five years. While this may be an exaggeration. unver- illciesa it is an indication of the ap- preciation of the possibilities of the development of such ground by those sufficuntly skillful and experienced to bring it about. Propoud Leasing System of the Nat- ural Bods. jl‘hla Board recommends. theref re. that the natural beds within the or- ritory described in Section hills of the General Statutes be abolished. and such territory be leased to citisens of the state under the following condi- tions: ' . Term of lease should not exceed ten years. with the privilege of renewal for another period of ten years. No lease should be made to any one per- son. lndlvldusliy. or any one rson connected with or in the employment of any firm or corporation. for more than twenty-five acres. Preference should be aivpn lamenting lsssos to those persons who for the past five years. consecntlvdly. have held their licenses to work on the natural beds and who “at! in the locality bili‘flol‘ifoi: on such boils. it should be provld that no lasso should be transferred or assignod. and in the event of death or termination the case should be one rendered. it would'sesm that an an- te ”productivity tax of at least two costs per lutshsi would be an entirely moonabio and fair return. ' There is no caustics that if such a. method were adopted it would raise to a productive state a farce amount of ground foraysiar culture. it would give an uppers city for increased pro- fits to s args umber of persons. with a corresponding lacrosse in revenue to the stats for the charges received from such natural bodl.

The. leasing of “such ground .at $1 per acre would theoretically yield oil.“ 000. annually; and a productivity tax of two cents per bushel on an annual catch of only 200.000 bushels would increase this revenue from a net year- ly loss of $713.89 to a yearly gain of $9,000. in a comparatively short. time this income would be materially changed by the very much inner production which the natural buds} would yield under private cultiva- tloil. The matter of pollution of waters. sanitation. the federal and other health authorities and their relations with the oyster business are consider- ed at considerable length and proper recommendations made. The report then closes with the following reviews and summaries: Shell Fish Commission. So long as the present system of taxation is continued, which requires the cl’orlt of the '84le Fish Commis- sion to not. at. ilil assessor and the members of the Commission as a board of relief. it is undoubtedly desirable that it consist. of times lncmbcrs. in- vestigations of the ilonrd have dour 0n strated the very great advantage of a practical knowledge of the oyster business in considering any subjects relative thereto. This advantage would apply as Well to the Shell Fish (‘om- nlisslon as to the Board. Considering. therefore. the many matters which must be considered by the Shell ii‘iah Commissioners. which require a tech- nical knowledge of the oyster industry, it seems to the Board very desirable that one of the three members he a practical oystermun. as is required in several states. Such a person should have had at least ten years' experience in growing oylilors in this state. finish a recommendation is hereby dehnliflr nllulo. . ‘ if. however, the method of ~ tion should be changed to that recom- mended by the ilonrd. a commission of three members would be no longer necessary. in that eveant. the Board recommends that the law be changed to provide for a single-headed commis- sion and that all references relative to disputed boundaries be aubmiited lo the superior court for adjudication. Such action woullbonubic all increas- ed salary to be paid to the Commia‘ sinner. its an executive colder. would permit. greater demands on his time for the work required. would focus responsibility. and probably would re- sult ill more defiltilc supervision. Maps. Tho maps that accompany this rc~ purl ought, to be nirif—t‘kliilllliiory. ilriufly. however. the purpose of the first is to show lilo location of all are for franchise ground under the state's jurisdiction Olliflitii’ the town lines oc- ruplml under ptiivsie ownership at the present time. also the location of the natural beds. Oh the same man there is shown in colors the approximate location of the hard ground. also the so~caiied soft or muddy ground. The maps in the folder. the tracings of which are used by the courtesy of the libel] Fish Commission. allow the ‘ per acre assessed valuation of the dif- ferent lots. varying from five dollars to one hundred fifty dollars per acre. The purpose of this is to show the as- sessed valuations of the different coll) liguotls lots. and to give an nplmvtuuliy for criticism and for suggestions. on that equalities may be overcome in the future. if the present system of taxation is to be continued. Ackn0vvisdgomonts. The Hoard wishes to express its up- prcclntlcn of tile courteous and help- ful attitude of the different members of the Shell Fish Commission. ' The chairman. Mr. George C. Wal- do. who lisp filled that position con- tinuously since ltlilil. and who hits been a member of the Commission since 1880. has been particular assistance in giving the ilosrd ihc benefit of his long experience in. and definite know- ledge of. the oyster industry. The Board is under great obllgs~ tlona to Mr. Frederick 1.. Perry. the clerk of the Shell i-‘lsh Commission. for his accurate legal knowledge of the many technical features connected with the C octlcut system of grant- ing and to g oyster franchises; for his fair and nnprojudlced attitude to wards all questions involved; for his manifest desire to sndblo the Board to secure all the ‘nooossary information on any phase of the oyster industry and dually for the time given in st- tsndins many shootings with the Board and its separate members. all of which. with that valuable counsel men- tioned above. has (ivoh without any charge whatever for his services.

The Board recelvod'the benefit of his wide experience. his practical know- ledge of relative values. and his com- plete familiarity with every detail of the business. All the members of the State Board of Health and its secretary. Dr. Jo- seph H. Townsend. have been very willing to cooperate with the iloard in securing information relative to polluted grounds. Mr. James A. Newianda. the chem- ist. has been of particular assistance in working out the data which are in- cluded in the very enlightening and satisfactory report of the condition of New Haven harbor given elsewhere. This work was undertaken by vote of the State Board of Heath without any specific appropriation for the shine. and the results attained show conclusively the value of such an in- vestigation. The finding is a very inl- portnrlt part of this report and the co operation which brought it about has been particularly appreciated by the Board of Equalization. A large number of oyster growers have been helpful in furnishing speci- fic information reintivo to the many details and methods employed in the conduct of their business. The com- pletion of this report in its practical suggestions would have been impos- sible without such assistance. Summary of Recommendations. The different recommendations have been fully discussed and the reasons given therefor in other parts of the import. For convenience. however. they are herewith summarised and ref- erotica given to the page of the re- port containing tho general diacus~ sion. it is recommended: 1. That the law which provides for tile arousing of grounds under the perpetual franchise be amended to provide for the leasing of such ground under state jurisdiction. which is not already allotted to private owners. to- gether with all land which shall re. vcrt no the state from those holding the name under franchises. ii. That the law providing for the policing of the oyster ground by the state be repealed. and a stalllte enact.- od which will provide a liberal bonmy for the detection and conviction of fill." one stealing oysters or columittlng iliilcr offences against the shell fish laws. ii. That the statute relative to fund or refuse dumping be Intended so that the oxponsen of the inspectors shall be paid by the contractors. i. That the law requiring buoys to be set at the expense of the state be repealed. b. That the law taxing the oyster franchises be amended to provide for a minimum valuation of ten dollars per ears on all wound held under such franchises at the present tax rate of fifteen mills, and in addition a pro duct! tax of two or " three cents per b ol upon all seed or other oys- tars ta'kon from such grounds in this state for sale. or for the purpose of removal out of the aisle. 1‘ act sl- sc would provide for condo ntial re- ports by tho producers and a proper system of state impaction of the some. all to be under tho direction and su- pervision of the Shell Fish Commis— lionors. also that the provisions of the law providing for proasut assess: and board of relief be ropoalod. 6.
