CITY WATER UNWHOLESOME.
1t Contains Sulphuric Acid-It Continues
To Make People Sick.

The analysis of the city water by the
State chemist reveals the presence of
sulphuric acid in sufficient quantity as
to make it unwholesome both for drink
ing purposes and laundry use. This acid
is taken in the mains from the acid
deposits at the phosphate works near
the city. 1t is repetition of the same
trouble number of months ago, only
on worse scale. Many think that
when the first trouble was experienced
it should have been enough to have made
the company take the necessary steps
TO have prevented a repetition of the
trouble. A prominent citizen said yes
terday:
Pure water is of vital Importance,
and as the dependence of the public is
now largely on the city water, it is more
important than ever that every possible
precaution should be taken to keep
the water pure and wholesome"
He also said that as the water still
continues to make people sick who use
it, the city ought to sift the matter to
the bottom and see that the water system
is placed in such shape that such trouble
will not occur again.

In the House last night, Mr.. Hamp-

ton of personal privilege and said:

lotte Observer which misrepresents the
Republicans in the House. 1t says the
Republicans and Populists have held a
caucus and decided to stand solidly
against the reinstatement of the Will

AL previous high records will be
broken by the corn crop of the Unit.
eG States CT 1859 says an exchange.
A canvass CT the eight States which
raise most of the corn of the United
States warrants the estimate above
that of '9C which has heretofore been
the record, and there is much in the
advices received to justify the pre-
diction that the crop will approx
mate 2,C00, 100000 bushels. The first
corn crop in the country to reach
2 500, 100000 bushels was that of 1885.
Incl udirg the crops now to be har-
vested, only nine crops of 100000, 900
bushels or over have been produced.

EFFEorED RErRENoHMENrs.

The report states that the board,
upon it's organization last year, found
it necessary to reduce the number Of
police vessels in order to keep Within
the bounds of the appropriation. 1t
was also found necessary to reduce
the salaries of the men on the boats
retained in the service. The last
Legislature cut the appropriation for
oyster police to $4,000 annually:
The Board of Fisheries had turned
over to it from the Board of the
Chesapeake and it's Tributaries the
sum of 81, 397, as Of April /, 1899, the
balance Of the oyster appropriation
for the fiscal year beginning October
II. 1897.
In order to economic the board
disposed of the steamer Tangier and
reduced the force on the two steam =
ers and vessels retained, and cut
down the salaries of some of the
officers
The manuscript report gives some-
thing of the history of the creation
of the board, and tells of the difi
culties in the way of enforcement of
certain of the laws The amendment
TO the fishing laws placing tax on
pound nets met with much oppose
ton, especially from fishermen IN
the Potomac river, who claimed that
in order to be effective in that water
such law must be concurrent legis-
lation on the part of Virginia and

EXTENDING THEIR TERRITORY
Regarding complaint of the tong.
men, the report says.
There has been in the past and
still exists great dissatisfaction on
the part of the tongInen, charging
| that planters, in some cases, are ex
tending their stakes out, thus with
out warrant of law taking up the ma
tural oyster rocks, beds, and shoals
as defined by the Baylor survey, the
State, of course, getting no rental
upon the excess of acreage held be,
yond the original assignment and
survey. These conditions very large
ly exist because of failnre on the
part of the State at the time OF hav-
ing the Baylor survey made to have
the lines defining and separating
1he natural oyster rocks from that
which was designated as planting
grounds, by fixed and permanent
| buoys. The board has in several in
stances been called on by the tong
men through the inspectors to have
the BAYLOR lines resestablished, the
parties making the request agreeing
to pay the cost OF the survey,

and imposing a license tax for the
registration of boats for the privilege
of taking oysters from the ocean side
of the counties OF Acconac and
Northampton, is also an addition to
the previous oyster laws. The board
however, has the honor to report
that it meets with little or no oppo-
sition on the part of those directly
engaged in the business, but, on the
contrary, they express a willingness
to have the registration fee increased,
if necessary. in order to give them
the desired protection, and to give to
the State a fair net revenue in ex-
cess of the required expenditures for
the special police regulations furnish
