Mr.. EDiTOR:-Nearly year ago the
Legislature passed Gan Act for the pre-
servation of oysters, and to obtain rev.
enue for the privilege of taking them
within the waters of the Common
wealth." This Act Was approved
March 4th, 1884," and section 50 de-
clares "This Act shall be in force from
its passage. " To carry out the pro-
visions of this act, section Al declares,
"a Board on the Chesapeake and its
tributaries, consisting of the Governor.
first auditor and treasurer, is consti-
tuted. Section 42, says, "lt shall be
the duty of such Board, as soon after
the passage of this Act as practicable,
to cause to be built, or to buy, or char
ter, not more than one steamer and
three sail vessels of the kind and draft,
and with said equipments and arma-
ment, as may be needed to be used in
the execution of the provisions OF this
Act" Other sections point out the
further method of execution of the pro-
visions Of this Act;;' while section At
appropriates 1.-THE sum of thirty thous-
and dollars, to the purchase or charter of
the aforementioned fleet and additional
sums are provided for if they should be
required. This is in brief the bill as
to the construction and government of
the oyster navy. What in nearly twelve
months has this Board accomplished?
1t has, with wasteful and profigate
disregard of the interests of all parties
concerned, failed to carry out in its spir-
it and intent the Act. 1t has wastefully
and extravagantly expended S24, 500 of
the peoples money iu the building of a
steamer drawing ST feet of water, meas
uring ITO feet feet in length, aud of 30
