Parls, is at last slowly subsiding, leay-
ing thousands of buildings wrecked and
probably hundreds of thousands of
people in suffering and distress. The
city is a great network of sewers-the
most complicated and complete in the
worid-and these have in multitude of
instances caved in or burst from the
pressure of the water, and the buildings
above them collapsed as a consequence.
A large part of the city has been cut
Oft from drinking water, a still larger
part IS without light, and soldiers and
police have been well nigh powerless to
prevent wholesale plunderilg. Over
one quarter, or nine square miles of the
city has been submerged, and the re-
cession of the waters leaves this region
In horrible condition, covered with
mud and filth of the sewers, and great
sickness is probable as a result. The

the city for over hundred years. and

FISH AND OYSTER LEGISLATION.
Norfolk Landmark.J


Senator Lesner, of Norfolk County,
has introduced "a bill to impose a
license tax on certain persons and de-
vices engaged in fishing, Grabbing,
claiming, etc, in addition to that
now prescribed by law, and for the
further protection of fish, crabs, clans.
etc., and to repeal all acts or parts of
acts inconsistent Herewith"
This is understood to be the bill which
has the support of Fish Commissioner
Lee and 1.-THE Administration, being
very similar to the protective measure
which was introduced at the last ses-
sion at the Fish Commissions instance
and died on the calendar.
In some particulars the bill does not
seem to us to be strong enough. For
instance, we think the menhaden fish
ermen ought to be kept three miles off
shore as they were by former statute
which was noiselessly repealed, and
ought to be prohibited from selling food
fish.
We regard the bill as not a radical.
but very mild legislative effort in the
right direction, and we are heartily in
FAVOR of its passage. If it is not strong
enough, it can be strengthened by the
next General Assembly. The thing to
do Is to back up the Fish Commissioner
IN his stand for protection and prevent
the repetition of the last experience.
when the bill was smothered in commit
tee.

THE BYRD OYSTER BILL.



Apparently about the onlv obiect;on
TO the Byrd oyster bill is that pointed
out by Its author, that it is too mild.
That, however, may be a very forgiya-
BILE objection. In making a new de-
parture, it is very well at times to ex-
ercise moderation so that the effect of
the change may be seen before it is
carried too far, and the latent defects
may be brought out and corrected. The
bill so far as it goes, can scarcely fail TO
be of great service to the oyster indus
try IN the State. and to make it pos
sible to inaugurate. carry toward a
system of restoration and conservation
of this one of the most valuable re-
sources of the State.
The Encouragement and straiphten-
ing of the lines of the present survey
will greatly simplify the problem of
policing the reserve, and very greatly
reduce the cost of the service.
Without undertaking to pass upon
the details of the measure We are per-
fectly willing to accept the principle in
volved and have no doubt that the fish
cries commission, that we understand
have approved the bill, have carefully
safeguarded all of these incidental! mat
ters.
We trust that the bill will be passed
by the legislature and that this will be
the beginning of wise and comprehen-
sive policy of conservation and improve
ment on the part of the State govern
ment.

FOR A PROGRESSIVE POLICY.
Norfolk landmark

Speaker Byrd and Senator Wickham
have introduced bill providing for the
Encouragement of longing lines in the
James river oyster grounds, to suit
conditions which have changed SINCE
the Baylor survey was made. This
measure is based upon a special exami-
nation and report made by the United
States Fish Commission at the request
of the State, and the Landmark be-
lieves that it is important and should
be passed.
The State Is tired OF letting oyster
resources that may be saved go to
waste because of the claims of a few
tongers who are not doing anything
with the unproductive beds in question.
Maryland has already taken steps in
the direction indicated, and she is so
well satisfied with the result that she
proposes to go further. Governor
Crothers discusses the matter along
that line In his recent message. Little
Rhode Island is making a great thing
out Of oyster resources less extensive
than those of single Maryland or
Virginia county.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

Under the common acceptation of
what is meant by Breaking the Bay
lor Survey" there are two opinions
upheld by two distinct sets of citizens,
neither of which intend to convey the
lea that by Breaking the Baylor
Survey" it is to be abolished and aban-
doned. -Accomack News.
The present Commission of
Fisheries is on record as ,inviol-
ably opposed to abolishing the
Baylor Surveyor letting out any
OF the producing rocks. Practi-
cally the same bill us the Byrd
James river bill passed the Senate
unanimously last session, and
failed in the House on a tie vote.
Had itcarried, James river would
have been two years in advance
of what tits today, and the tong
ers would havehad ten thousand
acres of profitable rock to work
upon, where today they have not
five thousand, by actual exam
nation. With Strengthened lines
the encroaching planters would
have been driven back, and de-
pleted rocks reclaimed.
There is no "breaking" of the
Survey in the Byrd bill, and all
argument to the contrary is mere
buncombe. 1t costs the State
ten thousand dollars to collect
four thousand q year there,
because the crooked fences are all
down, in the gulleys as it were,
and marauders are rampant.
Withnew andstraightened fences
the prolific ground can be easier
and cheaper protected, and many
OF the barren spots reclaimed.

BYRD'S OYSTER BILL.
Newport News Times-Herald.l


The Byrd oyster bill is police regu-
lation. 1t does not break the BAYLOR
survey in any radical sense. 1t merely
Strengthens the lines, so as to make
1t easier and cheaper to police the nat
urai rocks and prevent depredatons.
Commissioner Lee thinks that it will
be of more benefit TO the tongers than
to the planters.
The report of DR.. Moore emphasizes
the necessity for reform in the present
SYSTEM and the oysteFmen themselves
should aid in all discreet movements to
improve the situation and prevent the
natural beds from being exhausted. It
Is needless to continue in the present
way.
