BREAKING THE BAYLOR
SURVEY is OF INTEREST

The probable action OF the legislative
Commission constituted to inquire into
the feasibility Of breaking the Baylor
oyster survey and opening to private
planters on lease part Of the area ern.
brnced therein is OF great interest, not
only to the oystermen OF this State, but
to the people Of Washington also. The
Wa shington Star In an article on the
sub ject prints the following, bearing out.
ti,e prophecy IN this paper that the report
OF the commission will recommend break
Ing the survey: @
1ha oysternen enEa ged In taking
oysters from tho Potomac and other Vir.
glnia waters are much disturbed at the
prospect that the Virginia oyster law,
known as the Baylor survey" Will in all
proba bllity be broken at the coming ses-
sion OF the Virginia Legislature. For the
past two or three months q commission
Of Legislators has been engaged In visit
Ing the oyster-bearing waters OF the
State and making personal Investigations
OF the conditions OF the oyster rocks now
open to public clustering.
While there has been no public ex-
preston OF opinion by the members Of the
commission, tho impression has been
created that the report will recommen end
the opening of u large portion Of the
natural rock for private planting purposes
and the consequence will be the curtailing
of the grounds on which the puDnc can
take oysters. One member Of the COM
rniasion Is reported to have remarked
that while only $4,000 acres OF oyster lands
In the State were productive, there were
100, eog acres that could DO made SO Y
