OYSTER SEASON IS ON
The First r. Month Gives License To
The Tongers MANY Boats Out

Today ushered in the first r.
month and with it the luscious oys-
ter. The season for tonging for oys-
ters in the waters of this and other
counties of the State, began today.
AT gray dawn this morning that
vast army of the white and colored
population of the State who engage
in this great industry of the Chesa-
peake, as a means of livelihood dur
ing the winter months, were at work
on the bars, all over the bay. For
several weeks the tongers have been
busily engaged getting their rakes
and tongs in shape, and repairing
their boats in preparation for the sea
son.
Early this morning the bay and
river were dotted over with small
oyster craft, and the season opened
auspiciously. One thing more no
ticeable this year than ever before is
the large number of tongers who use
power boats. Many of them, of
course, still cling to the old-time
batteau and dead rise, with sails as a
means of propulsion, but the evolu-
tion of the gas engine has proved
great convenience to the oystermen.
There is no encountering of head
winds and the consequent loss of much
time in &c et.ing to and from the bars
in boat equipped with an engine.
AS a general thing not MAN. of the
tongers in this county take to the
bars right at the opening of the sea
son. preferring to wait until little
cooler weather sets in when the
bivalves are much fatter and the
prices received for their catch high
er. But this year a greater mum
Der of licenses have been issued for
the season opening than has market
the last several years. -
Up to yesterday 800 licenses had
been issued from the Office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court, compared
to about 200 at the same time last
year. The clerks in the office were
kept on the go all day yesterday as
over $50 of the licenses were issued
during the day. The prospects for a
good yield of oysters this year is con-
sidered good.

TO LEVY "a CENTS
County Commissioners After Due
Consideration Fix This Sum
For PASSPORT Improve
n1entS
FOR SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
The County Board Acts la Conformity
With Recent Opinion Handed Down
In The Circuit Court

The Circuit Court in a recent opin-
ion decided that the Special Privi-
lege Act passed at the last session
of the Legislature, is imperative,
in so far as it conveys any author
ity to divide a district for the pur-
pose of levying a separate tax Tor
special improvements, the County
Commissioners, in session yesterday
took steps in conformity herewith.
1t was held by the Court that the
intention of the law was to levy sep
arate tax upon the property of dis
trict wherein special improvements
were desired, and which were not en-
joyed by other districts of the county.
In the case of the Second district,
which comprises Eastport, the tax
payers of which took the question be-
fore Court, the Board decided to levy
a tax of "a cents on the assessable
property of the whole district in or
der to raise $500. the sum needed
for electric lighting and policing East
port. -
An order to this effect was adopt
ed by the Board. In the face of the
fact that the residents of Eastport
will undoubtedly reap the greatest
benefit of these additional convent
ences, the question is asked whether
the residents of other parts of the
district will be content to pay the
tax. The adoption of this order COW
ers every district of the county, and
in case district, some time in the
future, may desire special improve
ments, a special tax will be levied
herefor. With this question settled,
the Board will now proceed with the
levy.
In conformity with the Special Priv
iiege Act, also, the Board named COM
missions of three taxpayers in three
districts, whose duty it shall be to
supervise the expenditure of money
for special improvements The COM
mission named are:
Second District Messrs. William
M. Holiday, George Garner and Ben
jain Watkins, Jr.
Third District-Messrs. Henry ID.
Cook, Joseph T. Brennan and Judge
Henry A. Tydings.
Eighth District-Messrs Joseph ..
Atwell. John a. Crosby and George
Nutwell.
The fact that the meeting of the
Commissioners was deferred from
Tuesday because of the Primary cleo
tion and the large amount of time
consumed in discussing the Special
Privilege tax, very little other busi-
ness was transacted, outside of the
passage of large number of bills.

cutor visited his cell in the county Jail.
The Indian, recovered from the drunk
en- stupor into which he fell immedi-
ately after he was locked in the city
prison, said he had dropped the child
by accident. He refused sullenly to
admit any guilt of his own.
