LONGING LICENSES ISSUED
Above The A,erage d Last Year.

The number of licenses TO tong oys-
ters in Anne Arundel county is now
considerably above those issued up To
the same time last year. Up to the
end Of October the number of Licenses
issued was far below that issued last
season, but during November and De-
cember an unusually large number OF
licenses have been issued. This is due
TO the fact that the catch is turning
out much better than was expected.
The number of licenses which have
been issued up to today at the Office of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court for
Anne Arundel county is 743. against
500 up to the same date of last year
Licenses are still being issued every
day, although there was an almost
complete cessation of applications at
this time last year.
The oystermen of this vicinity are
now getting good returns for their
work. From thirty-five to fifty bushels
a day is the average catch for two
tongers and a euler and oysters are
bringing 90 and 55 cents a bushel.
The amount to be divided among the
three is, therefore, no mean sum for
a days work.
