The Dog Tax Question.


The ques,i Of cog tax is beiaS asita,sd

farmers certainly need some protection TO their
shsep folds from me ravsges OF worthless ours,
which are allowed to roam a their own sweet
will. A correspondent in the lsgsrs'own Nail,
writing on ihi, subject, says: IF all the dogs
Of the county were taxed it would not only
produce large sum Of money each year for the
county treasury, which could be devoted to the
public schools, tbs roads, or TO relis'in: the
tax payers of the county Of a part OF their
burden. but it would Increase the wealth Of the
county largely in another way. Oze Of 'hs

Senator Hod.on, Of Somerset county, has
prepared hi. oyster p!sn,ing bill. II is entitled
IAN &C, to establish in each Of the Underwater
counties of this State for the desis nation, re-
gulalion and taxation of oyster grounds. =
The bill provides that three sensible and dis
Greet persons shall be appointed on May for
four years by the Governor in each of the tide
water counties of the State to be known as
she'll fish commissioners-two Of those appoint
and their successors to be appointed every fsur
years therefore. They shall make maps Of the
oyster planting grounds in the several coua,iss
with their Ownership, together with survey
of the natural beds The commissioners shall
have authority to grant perpetual franchises
for the purpose of oyster planting in such
grounds as are not already located on private
beds and have not been natural ~ithin 10 years
previous when application 10 made by citizens
OF tbs State. The limit Of grant is Ave acres.
If 90 objection is sustained to the application
before the Circuit Court the applicant can OBJ
ia n his franchise by paying 81 fee for survey

A feature Of the prep ,.si Ia ~ is The sections
which provide for the taxation Of th'se oyster

the .hell fish commissioners. They are 10 b
taxed GA the books just as other property fol
