BOARD OF FISHERIES.

The State Board of Fisheries met
in Norfolk Saturday and decided to
re-establish the Baylor survey in
Piankitank River, on application of
the oystermen thereabouts. The
board will not determine until its
next meeting in Richmond, Decem-
Der 2nd, whether it will begin the
rental of deep water ground in
Chesapeake Bay by granting the APP
plication of 9. II. Willing, DR.. l.. M.
Irving and DR.. F. w. Lewis for a
lease of 500 acres at Gwynn's Island.
These gentlemen, with their counsel,
L. j. Downing and w. X. Hathaway,
were before the Board.
Counsel for the tongmen declare
that it is bad policy to begin leasing
the deep water for oystering.
The annual reports, presented at q
meeting of the full board, which 20
to the legislature, will show net
income to the State from the revenues
of the board for the gear ending
Sept. 80, 1908. of over $4,000.
The net income of the board for
the year ending Sept. 80, 1902, was
$33, 371.29, making a net increase to
the State for the year of about
$1,000.
