WILL JITN'EYS NEED PERMITS?
The interesting que‘stion has arisen
whether or not the "iitney" bus own-
ers in Norwalk will be obliged to se-
cure permits. Iu many of the cities
throughout Connecticut, owners of the
“jitneys” are obliged to secure special
permits or licenses from the police.
Chief of Police William R. Penning-
ton said this morning that so far as
he knew the “Jitneys” would not have
to pay for a special permit, unless,
perhaps, a special ordinance was
passed by the city council, covering
this matter.
' Already two “Jitney” routes have,
been started in Norwalk, with probe-1
bilitloe of many others springing up.
but no permits have been asked for or
given.

Oyster growers in Connecticut and
New York are making arrangements
for the shifting of plants which are
to be used during the coming oyster
season. Growers who have two, three -
and four year old stock for sale are
visiting the trade getting orders, as
far as possible. While some of the
planters have already made arrange-
ments for the supply they will use,
still others are holding off for the
present as the work of shifting stock
will be carried on until some time in
July. Some of the buyers have accept-
ed stock on the word of the growers,
while still others are making in-
spections or will make them before
purchasing the young oysters. They
desire to see what the stock looks
like.
Alexander C. Frazer,
the Alexander Frazer
president of
('30., Of New
York and New Haven, Conn, went to ’
the latter city on Thursday of this
week to supervise the planting of
stock, already purchased. His com-
pany will put down about 100,000
bushels for use during the season 01‘
191511916. The oysters will bertakeu
from the beds at Northport, South
Norwaik. New Haven and planted in
Princes Bay and Rockaway.
The bulk of the oysters now offer-
ing count 400 or 500110 the bushel.
They are principally three or four
years old. Oysters counting 250 to
200 to the bushel are scarce. The
stock is selling at 50 to 600 per bush-
el and it is sold that a few sales
have been made at 65¢ per bushel.
The heavy movement in planting ha:-
not started yet, owing to the adverse
weather conditions that ha'vc been ex-
perienced of late.
Axel F. Merrcll, of the Mcrrell.

Norwalk, Conn, on Wednesday to
look over stock for planting for the
