VALUE or THE CONNECTICUT
OYSTER BUSINESS
Hearing on Question of Taxation of
Oyster Grounds.

Hartford March 24-Figures show
ing that the oyster business had in
creased in Connecticut from about
$500,000 annually thirty five year, ago
to about S5,000,000 annually today were
presented at the continued hearing
this afternoon on the question of the
creation of a special commission to
consider and report to the next gener-
al assembly the matter of taxation Of
the oyster grounds within the juris-
diction of the state, before the legis-
latiVe committee on shell fisheries, at
the capitol. The figures were broueht
in a discussion which followed ques-
tions by members of the committee as
to the extent to which the value Of
product from the oyster grounds en-
tered into the taxable quality Of the
grounds. The committee several days
ago gave a hearing on the proposed
commission and then continued the
hearing until this afternoon. Today
oyster planters from various points
along the Connecticut shore gave tes-
timOny before the committee and with
this the hearings were closed. 1t is
expected that the report of the COM
mittee win be made soon, unless it is
decided to re-open the matter for fur
ther hearing. The planters stated that
they were willing to furnish either to
this committee or to q special commits
sion If the committee favor such
body, any facts bearing upon the ques
ton, but they contended that as yet
no good reasons had been presented to
the committee for such a commission.
Much of the ground covered at the
previous hearing was gone over rela-
tive to certain areas of oyster grounds
held by the planters being unproduc-
tive and practically useless, that thou
sands of dollars had been expended by
the planters in experiments on these
acres which had brought no return,
and also the fact that the chief value
of the oyster grounds within the iuris-
diction of this state were available on
ly for seed purposes and that the prod
uct had to be transferred to waters
in other states for developing for mar
ket 1t was also contended that the
enforcement of any higher rate of tax
alton than that now paid would work
hardship to the smaller planters who
could move their business to some 9TH
er state as could the larger dealers.
Referring to the cost OF the grounds
in Rhode Island waters, one Of the
speakers declared that he believed the
rates there exorbitant and said that
that state had simply taken advantage
of the situation and that If the plant
ers wanted acreage there they had to
pay the price. 1t was also brought out
that sometimes the planters keep pos
session of unproductive tracts of
grounds becaus they are so situated
that they act as buffers for good
grounds.
