SMALL OYSTERS ON SALE.
A Dealers Suggestion of Law to
REGULATE SuDnIN.

''Washington is sadly in need of a law to
prevent the sale of so many small oys-
ters." remarked man on the oyster wharf
to a Star reporter today. 1T seems that
the number of small oysters coming up the
river this year is greater than usual
These small bivalves, the man explained,
cannot be sold in Baltimore, and it is for
this reason so many Of them are brought
to this market. 1t was his idea that the
taking Of so many of the small stock from
the river will eventually affect the supply.
The law regulating the cuIling and sale
of oysters in Baltimore provides that ANY
captain or other person in charge Of any
vessel who shall have oysters in his pos
session which contain more than 3 per cent
of shells and small oysters shall be guilty
of q misdemeanOr: and in ascertainfng such
percentage the officer of the oyster police
force is hereby authorized ard directed to
select such amount of oysters contained In
the pile, hold or bin, other place, as he
may think necessary, and to Gull, or have
culed. the amount so selected.
1T shall be the duty of any packer, COM
mission man. or other person, who shall
purchase any cargo. or part of a cargo, of
oysters to have the contents of every fif-
tieth tub, or measure, or any other tub, or
mea sure, he may deem necessary, dumped
on the deck of the vessel from which such
oysters are being taken. and the same shall
be kept away and separate from any other
oysters or oyster shells: and any person
disturbing or interfering in any manner
with the oysters dumped shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and fined the sum of
500: and after the whole cargo or vessel
load. the quantity of oysters pur-
chased shall have been measured and asc er-
tanned. it shall thereupon be the duty of the
inspector Of oysters to proceed to separate
from the oysters dumped on deck as he"e-
inbefore provided, all shells and oysters
whose shells measure less than two and
one-half inches in length, from hinge to
mouth. and shall make written memoran-
dunn of the number of bushels of oyst ers
remaining after such separation, and shall
ascertain, nearly as possible. the exact
proportion of shells and oysters whose
shells measure less than two and one-half
inches in length, from hinge to mouth, to
marketable oysters contained in the guam
tity dumped, as hereinbefore provided. and
the percentage so ascertafned shall be
deemed, for the purposes of this article to
be the proper percentage of shells and
oysters whose shells measure less than two
and one-half inches III length. from hinge
to mouth. contained in the cargo or portion
of a cargo so purchased; and If said per-
centage shall be more than per cent Of
the cargo. or portion of cargo, so pur-
chased. then the said cargo shall be deem
| ed to be unculled.''
