GETTING THEIR LICENSES.
Oystermen Preparing for Opening
of Dredging Season.

AS the oyster dredging season is but
three weeks off the masters of dredging
vessels who are preparing to work in the
Chesapeake and it's tributaries where
dredging is allowed are obtaining their
government and state licenses for the
work AS a matter of convenience to
the dredgers, Collector Stone of the port
Of Baltimore has arranged to send one of
his deputies to the oyster producing coun-
ties of Maryland that come in his collec
ton district to issue the licenses and thus
save the vessel masters the necessity for
a trip to Baltimore.
The indications are that in consequence
of the low prices that b.valves are bring
ing on the oyster grounds the number of
dredgers' licenses that will be taken out
this year will be smaller than for sew
eral years past.
