Oyster inspectors throughout tho

Game Commissioner Parsons to pro-
coed ut once to collect all past due
oyster ground rentals either by having
the oysters taken up and sold. or by
lerying on and selling the entire bed
"All inspectors" the instructions

oyster ground rentals which were duo
september I. 1916. and which are still
unpaid at that time. am directed by
the commission to say that this must
tc done and that no further delay will
be tolerated.
There was Il great decrease in the
number of tongcrS licensed during Sep
tcmber of this year. OF course, the in
spectors cannot be blamed for this. 1t
Is due to the fact that men who former
ly engaged in the longing OF oysters,
because OF the Unprecedented prosperity
Of the country, found moro lucrative
employment in other branches OF in
duStry."
Commissioner Parsons returned TO his
office In thcN state Capitol yesterday,
none the worse for his narrowing cX-
