OYSTER SHORTAGE is
NJ PREDICTED FOR 1915.

New Haven. January 24.-There will
besa shortage of marketable oysters
during the balance Of the season, and
already some of the opening houses
in the north have closed for the season
on this count. The shortage is large
~ due to the poor sets experienced du-
ring the past few years, to the depre-
dations of starf1sh and thieves, and to
discouraging and unfavorable legisla-
ton in northern states, which is re-
spcnsible for a large decresae in the
in6ustry.
MThis is all unfortunate said
AMI oyster grower yesterday, "as the
( shippers needed to run their plants
through the season at their capacity
to recover In measure, for the loss
sustained by Improbable business du-
ring the past three years.
'sWhile the quality is good, the fu-
ture, especially as the set in Connec-
ticut waters has been small for the
past two years.
att is due to gross Misrepresentation
to the Legislature that laws have been
passed very unjust and discouraging
70 the oyster industry, and instead OF
fo$tering this great food producing in
dustry in Connecticut, and Rhode ISL
ana, this shortsighted policy has
greatly decreased the production OF
oysters, and threatens to decrease At
to much greater degree.

clining in these two states and unless

COMMERCIAL CLUB
MET FRIDAY NIGHT
NICE GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP
REPORTED BY SECRETARY
GULlICK
PAVING MATTER IS STILL PENDING
Clean Up Of City in Spring Was Gen.
orally Discussed by the
Members

The Commercial Club held an inter
esting meeting Friday evening, Sec
rotary Gullick reported twenty-five
new members and reinstatement of
membership up to 1913, President Gull
base reported on matters which came
before the board during the month and
outlined work which should be handled
in the immediate future. He said that
the paving committee would meet with
the board soon and there may be some
progress to report at the next meeting
The matter of appointing a com
mittee to find out where there are seed
potatoes in the country on one hand
and men who will plant potatoes in the
spring on the other hand and bi ing
them together was discussed, but was
finally dropped after considerable dis
cussion by all who wished to be heard.
DR.. Hyde discussed the pure milk and
meat question and the cleaning up of
the city in general, including the puri-
flying of all surface wells, and the club
generally agreed with him. 1t was
stated that the Civic League and other
women's clubs are going to get busy in
the spring along these lines and that
the men should help them. The dis
cussion brought out the fact that a
new law was passed by the legislature
at it's recent session which enables
three customers of any milk dealer to
ask that his cows be tested and the test
must be made. If the state inspectors
find a cow unhealthy she is killed and
the state stands half the value Of the
animal.
After the question had been gener-
ally discussed the club adjourned to en-
joy a fine lunch provided by C. M. Nc
Ginnis of Macs Cafe together with a
smoker after lunch.

CITY IS GETTING
READY FOR PAVING
COMMITTEE ON SIGNERS WILL
SOON FINISH WORK FOR
COUNCIL ACTION
MAY TAKE TEN YEARS FOR PAYMENT
Commercial Club is Busy Gathering
Data on Prices and Kinds Of
Paving

The city paving proposition is again
becoming a live issue, and is receiving
serious consideration by men who
were at first opposed to it. Sentiment
for paving is growing and it now looks
as though the proposition will go
through.
At a meeting Of the Commercial Club
board Monday evening the paving com.
mittee, consisting of II. F. Haroldsou,
G. j. Flittie and Geo. w. Cobel, report
ed work done SO far, and asked that
six more members be added to the com.
mittee to help close up the soliciting
for signers to the petition and get the
work of paving under way. President
Culhane will add this number to the
committee within a week.
j. K. Mather, a civil engineer from
Mitchell, was in the city and was
asked to talk on the paving matter. He
offered some good suggestions, among
which was first decide whether or not
Z paw dhu ditCi WdIuS W uclcILllIlc
the kind Of paving to use. In this way
the city will get bids on all kinds of
paving. and close figures from the COM
panies doing the various kinds of pav-
ing when bidding against the other
kind Of work. The prices usually run
from $1.70 to $2.O5 per square yard &C
cOrding to the kind adopted. He also
suggested widening the sidewalks and
thus cutting paving costs. When the
residence streets are reached the CEN
ter of the street could be parked and
planted to shrubs and twenty feet on
the sides paved. This would cut the
cost of paving and at the same time
b~eautify the streets.
The discussion which followed the
committee report brought out the fact
that the paving need not be paid for all
in n year, but may be spread over a
term of ten years. There were several
present who when they learned this
were in favor of paving this year.
The committee, when the new men,
bers are added. will get busy and close
up the work Of securing signers and
then turn the matter over to the city
council to put 1t across.
