OYSTER BEDS NOT POLLUTED,
expert Found Virg iuia Con-
ditiOps Excellent.

After making an extensive invest;.
cation of the oyster beds of Lynhaver
Bay and river in Princess Anne county
DIR. Walter Bensel, of the New York
State Health Department, has re-
turned home, convinced that oysters
from these beds are absolutely free
from danger from contamination from
sewage.
This Investigation was conducted ON
account of the fact that recently oysters
offered for sale on the New York mar
ket have not been in first-class con-
dition, and it was thought this might
have been due to conditions at the
oyster beds. Accordingly the Health
Department sent out three experts To
make Investigations at Sayvllle. l..
Cape Cod, Mass. and Lynnhayen. Va
from which sources of supply that IS
used In the leading hotels of that civ
comes. Dr.. Bensel stated that his oh;ecy
was simply to ascertain if there was anv
sewage emptying into the bay and
river; 1t did not take him long to find
out that there were no such sources of

methods of preparing the oysters for
shipment. and pronounced them all right

The excitement raised by certain vir

an attempt to explain the sudden over.

acterize as glut. The Stanton Dis.
patch editorially called attention to the

but attributes it for the most part to

lated that the Connecticut planters are
able to grow better oyster at Lea.
cost than those produced by Virginia
planters. and that these enterprisinc
New Englanders have established agea-
cies throughout the West and are cut
ting out the middieman's profit and un-
derseliing the Virginia oyster. Our
contemporary states that it is informed
that Virginia oystermen cannot afford
to sell their oysters at such a price as
to meet this Connecticut composition
This explanation will hardly fit with
the Stanton complaint of the bioh
prices on that market and of the d.
mand for oysters there at a reasonable
price.
But the remarkable part of the story
is that the Times-Herald recently acc
onded the Richmond -Dispatch's
alarming plant that the Virginia ovs-
ter supply was being depleted and that
oysters were so scarce that the toagers |
ceam not make living. This stagna-
ton IN the industry was attributed to |

attributed to Connecticut eompetition
But whatever tbs Surplus be- due TO
the important fact Is that oysters ara

Colonel Mann. "He does not intend

liquor legislation passed in Virginia
