A Washington dispatch last night
says: THE oyster growers of Connecti-
cut are up in arms against one section
of the new river and harbor bill, and
it is understood plans are now being
formulated to have several well known
lawyers from the state come to Wash
ington and urge the committee on riv-
ers and harbors to change this particu-
lar section. The growers of Bridgeport,
Stamford and New Haven are working
together to bring about q modification
of the provision. The section in ques-
tion relates to the dumping of refuse
of any kind into any navigable water
of the United States. The bill makes
such dumping unlawful, except as reg
ulated by orders of the secretary of
war. The committee on rivers and
harbors state that it had no intention
of injuring the oyster growers, and it
does not think this provision Of TIL
win in any way interfere with their
business"
