THE OYSTER CULTURE ACT.
Counsel 10 Board of SheIifiSh Commits
sion Says No Exemptions of
Barren Bottoms.

Thomas H. Robinson. counsel 10
the Shellfsh Commissioners, has in
formed that body that there need be
no exemptions OF the barren bottoms
surveyed in waters contiguous 10
Anne Arundel county on account Of
section SO of the oyster Culture Act,
which provides for the exemption for
oyster culture of 'tal bottoms OF
the tributaries of the Chesapeake
Bay where grass grows and il is profit
able 10 Scrspe for soft-shell or shielded
crabs
The decision is based ON the fact that
there is no industry OF scraping FOR
crabs in Anne Arundel county. such
as exists in the waters of Somerset
county, and, also, ON the fact tnat
such scraping is illegal in Anne Arun-
del county waters.
1t has become known that large
number of holders of oyster grounds
in various parts of the state who OBJ
tanned their holdings under the old
law, commonly known as the FIVE
acre law, have not filed applications
TO retain their beds under the new
Oyster Cultivation Act, as they are
owners of the shore upon which the
beds border and have the first privi-
lege of taking up ground under the
law. BY delaying their application
they save the fees and rental until
tnat part of the act relating 10 new
leases go into effect.
The Shellfish Commissioners expect
TO throw open for leasing the barren
bottoms in the Anne Arundel county
water by April 2 next, just one year
after the pasasge of the act. The
riparian owners in this county who
hold lot under the old law will,
therefore, save their fees and one
years rental. Mr.. Robinson having
decided that the rents began on April
2 last, when the law went into effect,
and, also, one years taxes, the hold
ers in other counties will save in rent
and taxes according To the time the
survey is completed in their waters.
The Shellfish Commissioners will
meet here on Thursday. The Office
force is hard at work on the annual
report, which must ba issued by
April. 1t is believed that there will
be an unexpectedly Large sum from
the receipts under the law, reaching,
probably, $l2, 900 or $4,000. BY law
the expenses of the commission are
limited 10 $50, 900 a year. 1t is be-
lieved that the receipts of the Office
will increase in much greater proper
ton than the expenses as n great eN-
tent of bottoms is surveyed.
Under the law the commission is
required 10 publish and transmit TO
the clerk of each of the Circuit Courts
plats of the bottoms surveyed contig-
uous to the county within ninety
days of the completion of the survey.
The commission holds that the ninety
days has not begun to run, inasmueh
as the definition of natural bed and
barren bottoms has not been fixed,
and. consequently, the lines of sepa-
ration have not been drawn. Much of
this information will be furnished the
commission by the United States
Coast and Geodetie Survey.

RUNKEL COMPANY'S RETURN
A Good Sized Audience Attended The Per-
fOrmance Last Night.

a good-sized audience filled the Co
lonial Theatre last night when the
Runkel Stock Company opened rn-
turn engagement and added to their
popularity with Annapolitans. The
bill was The Man From Missouri,
with new member of the company,
not seen in the previous visit, in the
title role. This was Mr.. Wilson r..
Todd, who as the Missouri sheriff,
Jim Radurn, made an excellent inn
preston. lie is finished actor and
valuable addition to strong reper-
toire company.
Miss Runkel, cast as Kate Vernon,
the colleg --bred daughter of poor
and c0untrified parents, was received
well by her many friends made dur
ing the former engagement at the
Colonial. Mr.. Breton and Miss
Myers, two other favorites, showed
that they had lost none of their abil-
ity nor popularity. a new member
of the company who made a decided
hit was Cressie Canada, who is an
undoubted success as character ac-
tress.
The company played n special chill
dren's matinee this afternoon and will
close its engagement tonight with
Shadow" which was the opening
bill when the company played in An
napolis earlier in the season.
Miss Runkel is very young and
gives promise of even greater success
before the footlights. She has inn
proved since her last appearance here
and grows better and better. Both
she and Mr.. Todd are far too good for
repertoire and we predict brighter
future for each as their star ascends in
the theatrical armament.
