tel-day. charged with smuggling his
wife. who had already been refused
admittance into this country. from
Canada.
Boltuc claimed that his wife was a

izens of one country enter the other
for more than a short visit. Boituc
was fined 850 for illegally bringing
his wife into this country.

make up the lost time if possible.
Many of the oystermcn claim that
the season is lost due to the long
delay which allowed competitive oy-
ster dealers to get all the best con‘
tracts with New York and western
firms.
According to the local men. the
Health Board made no explanation
of the long delay other than that
the local beds could not be given
clear permits until the waters and
oyster grounds showed no pollution.
The present spell of cold weath-
er. it is believed. was sufficient to
lower the temperature of the water
to a degree where the bacteria ceas-
ed to multiply.
No further interference is looked
for until next summer when the
question of pollution of the harbor
waters will probably again occupy
a major place in the agitations of
the day.
