danger: of titles to oyster grounds
have taken place during the montir.
which will undoubtedly result in much
planting on the islands during the

gone into the hands of live men from
estates which in some instances have
been inactive during the last 15 years.

showing either that there was a great
quantity of lsrie‘ stock or else that
they have wonderful growing powers
at this time. '
The very cold weather of the pre-
sent week greatly curtailed the supply
of oysters, and it looked for a time
as it there might be a famine. The
low temperature of Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday caused a ireezeup in
some sections of Great South Bay and
made oyster dredging in Great Kills
and Prince Bay such I dullcnlt matter
that shippers used their reserve stock
in order to meet the demand.
The oyster received considerable at-
tention in the Maryland House of Rep-
resentatives on Jan. 14 in the course
of the action upon the report of the or-
ganizatiu committee. Mr. Wilkinson,
of Baltimore city, wanted each coun-
ty and legislative dlstr-ic tniven retire
sentation 'on the committee on Ches-
apeake (Bay and tributaries, and Hr.
Hall, also of Baltimore city, 'who aided
two years ago in the passage of the
Shepard act, fought and won. The
encounter was brief. Mr. Wilkinson
said that he believed the. time had
come when the other parts of the
State-Allegany County, and so 011—-
were as much interested in oyster
legislation as the tidewater counties
and should have representation upon
the committee. Mr. Hall said the pur-
pose of Mr. Wilkinson‘s proposal was
to reopen the oyster question, which.
he said, had been sttled in the last
Legislature {by the, manage. of the
Shepherd act. which he supported. He
called upon the tidewater members to
vote down the Wilkinson plan as a
matter which affected their living:
and the living: of their constituents.
Mr. Wilkinson‘ssid that he failed to
see how any man could take pleasure
in calling attention to his participa-
tion in the passage of the‘Shep'herd
act, inasmuch is it already had re
sulted in condemnation damages
$275, 000, which probably would be. in-
creased is 86001000 before long.
