Gov. Smith Talks on OYSTERS
Special Dispatch to The Times,

Especial Dispatch 10 Inc times
BALTIMORE, ND, Jan. lin his
message sent to the Legislature to-day,
Governor Smith says in reference to the
oyster question on the Maryland-Virginia
boundary:
Under present conditions Maryland
oystermen are at a serious disadvantage
in taking oysters from the waters OF the
Potomac River, which is used in common
by the oystermen of both Virginia and
Maryland, because the provisions of the
Virginia Gull law are more lax than ours,
and the penalty imposed for its violation
is lighter.
THE principal cause OF complaint.
however, is the intffectual enforcement
Of their own ,aw by the Virginia au-
thorities and our oystermen justly re-
gard it rs a hardship that they are pros
hibited from taking small oysters which
the Virginia oysterInen are permitted to
catch on bottom. which is common to
both, and where eaua! rights should be
enjoyed
There Is urgtnt need of concurrent,
harmonious Legislation on the part of
MARYLAND and Virginia regnlating. the
taking of oysters in the Potomac and the
provisions of the law should Efi Impair
tally enforced. thereby affording the
residents OF neither State just cause Of
complaint. u
