ANNoYANuEs MUST STOP.
Harbor Police to Break Up Practice
of "Leggers" at Oyster Wharf.


Trade soliciting. or Logging, as 1t is known
In the wharf vernacrlar, at the oyster wharf
must be stopped or kept within proper
bounds" is the verdict OF the District police
officials, who are now working on the prob
lem of how to reach the trouble under the
present regulations.
'Leggers' stand at the entrance to the
oyster wharf, and when a buyer appears he
is set upon by a half dozen of them, who
take possession of him and sell him oysters
at a high price. A customer is carried to an
oyster boat, and unless the captain Of the
vessel will agree to pay the logger" 10
cents on each bushel of oysters sold the
stock aboard the vessel is talked down and
the customer carried to another vessel where
the master is more complacent. Sunday last
a woman went on the wharf to purchase
some oysters. A "legger" took her in charge
lieeman Maddox Of the harbor precinct
squad, who was on duty on the wharf. saw
the transaction and questioning the woman,
found that the logger" had sold her oysters
worth IS cents per bushel for S1.1Q and had
charged her just double the usual fee for
having them shucked. The officer forced
the man to make restitution, but could do
nothing with him, as there is nothing, 1t is
stated, in the police regulations to reach
him. The masters Of the oyster craft want
the practice broken up. and yesterday after
the ground over and talking with the vessel
masters, and 1t is said the police authorities
will endeavor to have regulation framed
that will reach the logger" nuisance and
prevent ignorant purchasers of oysters from
being swindled in q barefaced manner.
