FIGHT FOR

Oyster Commissioners Against

APPEAL TO GOV. WILSON

Abolishing Department Brings
Many Office Holders to State
Capital to Plead.

Observation-Disclosures of the several
oyster commissions of the state dis.
cussed with Governor Wilson the con.
ditions of the oyster industry in the
state. In his final message to the leg.
islature, Governor Fort made sugges-
lions for the abolition of oyster COM
missions, their consolidation with the
fish and game commission, and other
recommendations which many oyster
men say would be detrimental to the
industry.
Captain Edmund Sites, Jr., presi-
dent of the Maurice river cove COM
mission, said the present administra-
ton of the oyster industry is salts
factory to those engaged in it, and
until a more practical suggestion for
a better syStem was presented moth
ing should be done to disturb it. He
said the commissioners are paid but
$500 a year, and must give a good deal
the state. He said the conditions of
oyster propagation widely differ in the
several sections of the state and that
it would be impossible to organize a
central body to bring about results as
satisfactory as are now produced.
DR.. R. M. Sooy of the Atlantic county
commission spoke in the same vein,
urging the governor to investigate be-
fore throwing the commissioners out
of their jobs. P. P. Postol, president
of the Atlantic county commission;
Philip r. Sprague, a member of the
Ocean county commission; Alfred B.
Smith, superintendent of the Atlantic
county commission; Captain A. T.
Bacon, superintendent of the Cum
berland county commission, and others
present at the conference all urged
upon the governor the necessity of
thoroughly understanding the situa-
ton.
Governor Wilson assured the COM
missioners he had become deeply in
terested in the subject and would give
It careful consideration. He will be a
guest of the Maurice river we COM
mission for a trip over the cove and
Delaware bay as soon as the weather
permits, and will make personal in
spection of the other districts.
