RIVERS BED WILL

Government Chemists tc
Seek Cause of Pollution
In Potomac.

A general examination and investi-
cation of the oyster beds in the Po-
tomac river will be started by eX-
perts of the Bureau of Chemistry, the
nations pure food sponsors, within
the next few days.
This examination and test of oysters
will be made in an effort to determine
the source OF pollution that has ar-
fected oysters brought to the local
market by oystermen. Chemists will
be sent to the various dredging points
in the river and the bay. particularly
in the region of Colonial Beach and
Wicomico creek, to test conditions.
1t Is the belief OF the chemist that
tho oysters are in some manner pol
luted in the beds either by substances in
the river or in some of the subsidiary
creeks.
The. suppostiOn that the oysters are
polluted before they are dredged from
the beds is based upon the positive
statements OF the oyster captains that
oysters condemned by the food inspec-
tors have not been treated In any way
but are fresh from the river. An eX-
animation of the 400 bushels of oysters
seized Monday AT the local oyster wharf
on the allegation that they contained
germs that were dangerous to health,
has convinced the Bureau Of Chemistry
that the oyster captains are telling
the truth.
Should the present investigation prove
that the source of pollution is in the
river II may lead to an investigation of
Washington's water supply, and to a
general examination OF the oyster beds
of Chesapeake bay.
