SUBCOMMITTEE WILL
HANDLE OYSTER BILLS
Committee of Chesapeake and Tribu-
taries Expects Report by Friday
Afternoon.

To a subcommittee composed OF
Of Essex. Norris OF Lancaster. Henley
OF Williamsburg, T. B. Wright of Isle
OF Wight. and Bristow OF Gloucester.
the House Committee on the Chesa-
peake and its Tributaries yesterday
referred the three bills Of Mr.. Wright
affecting the oyster laws of the State.
The subcommittee. is to consider the
measure in the light of the recent re-
port of the State Fisheries Commits
sion and of the evidence and argu-
ment presented at the hearing before
the joint committee In the hall of
the House Friday afternoon.
The bills are designed to give re-
lief to oystermen of the State who,
for various reasons. have suffered
during the last few years through the
laws prohibiting the selling or ship
ping of seed oysters outside of the
state of Virginia. Relief Is proposed
in repeating acts restricting Gull lines,
the seed oyster market and extending
the open season.
The impression prevails that the
committee will report favorably all
three measures. though one or more
of them are likely to carry amend
ments incorporating the suggestions
made by the Fisheries Commission.
which proposes that the law shall au-
thorize the commission to supervise
the taking OF oysters at all times and
from all rocks. and to prescribe rules
and regulations governing the indus
try. such rules and regulations to be
suspended or made operative IN the
commissions discretion.
