The Oyster committee, named u!
the General Assembly of Virginia, TO
examine the oyster beds of the State,
has made its report and the informa-
ton it contains and recommendations
made will be surprise to no one. II
was understood at the time the COM
mittee was appointed that all of its
members, with one exception, were Ill
favor of breaking the Baylor survey,
and all but one signed the report to
that effect just submitted to the Legis-
lature. So thorough, indeed, seems to
have been their conviction that the
survey ought to be broken the State
might have been spared the expense
of their cruise of seventy-seven days in
its waters. That conviction, of course,
is the result of their previous knowl-
edge of the oyster bottoms ofthe State,
as they could not in the limited time
taken by them have acquired the
knowledge which would enable them
to report "that there are 225,OOO acres
of oyster bottoms within the Baylor
survey, IS per cent. Of which are
worthless. or so depleted by over
working that they will not reseed
themselves within three years, and
some not at all under present condi-
tions. "If they did not possess this
knowledge beforehand, though, and
there seems to be some doubt in that
respect, more light seems to be needed,
before the people of the State can con-
cur in the opinion arrived at by them
"that the leasing out of such barren
and exhausted or depleted bottoms
would be to the best interests Of all of
the people of the State" If, however,
the Legislature approves the report of
the Oyster Committee, it will not sure
ly concur in the suggestion made by
it, "that another committee be ap-
pointed to lease out such barren and
exhausted or depleted bottoms, until
a survey has been made showing their
location.
Hasty action, of course, in a matter
so imp ortant must be avoided, if they
would prevent the jobbery in oyster
legislation now in contemplation and
which will be perpetrated unless the
Legislature is careful.
The Legislature is expected, not to
accept blindly the report of the Oyster
Committee, but to take a common
sense and businesslike view Of this
important matter and to the end that
the members of that body may arrive
at just conclusion, we cannot too
strongly urge those of our people en-
gagged in the oyster industry, to furnish
them with the information which will
enable them to act intelligently, and
to do so at once.
