Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-01-20

Senator Thomas Brown has just
introduced two bills of great import
nee to the industries in Middlesex
and Monmouth counties, in the state
legislature, one of these bi Is is an
act to amend an act entitled al act
relating to the propagation, planting,
preservation and gathering of clans
and oysters in the tidal waters OF
this state, and enlarHng and defining
the powers and duties of the Board
of Shell Fisheries" The other Is
IAN act TO provide for the establish
ent' fic instruction In the art of clay
working and ceramics in the state ag-
ricultural college,"
The Introducing of the first bill into
the legislature was the direct outcome
of the meeting of the oystermen held
In the city hall here last week, at
VIII. CHI time Senator Brown promised
to introduce the bill. BY enacting
Chapter 116 of the Laws of 1917, the
Board of Shell Fisheries was empow-
cred to lease the natural oyster and
clam grounds of Staten Islanl sound
and Newark Bay. BY Chapter 217 OF
the Laws of 1918, these powers were
extended SO as to permit the leasing
of the natural clam and oyster
grounds of the Raritan River.
These oyster and lam grounds
from tine immemorial have been
used by people of the state of New
Jersey for the purpose of catching
CLAIMS and oysters and as a result,
have for owe tn rty years been the
source of productive employment for
hundreds of the citizens of this state.
During the past two ear the
men usua ly engaged in oystering ana
clamm' ng on those grounds have been
working in other occupations, and
while theus engaged, the laws in this
statement referred to were enacted,
with the result that a monopoly has
been created in the grasp of two large
oyster corporations. and at least two
hundred men have been precluded
from the time honored employment
of claiming and oystering.
1.-THE purpose of this amendment
is to restore the natural oyster beds
of Raritan river, Staten Island sound
and Newark Bay to the free use and
access of all the citizens of this state,
as they were from time immemoriai

ATTACKS PROHIBITION nv MESSAGE
Two Important Bills for
Middlesex and Monmouth
Are Introduced By BroWn

up 10 the year 1917 and 1918.
at Is further intended by this
amendment to protect those natural
oyster and clam grounds by prevent
ing the use OF large steam or hana
dredges that 81 up the grounds
when used for catching oysters and
clans"
The Of the Ceramic bill as
explained in the statement in connec-
ton with the bill, Is to provide nee
essary and proper buildings n
equipment for laboratory and re-
search work in the department OF
ceramics, and also to provide a station
flu Iy carried on. At the present t me
hundreds of manufactures OF this
state individually carry On expert
ments and researches r'hich ire
quently result in great loss OF tme,
money and materials, and which re-
suits in the discouragement or fu-
ture research and development In
those industries.
1t Is further intended to abb q
research station where experts may co
operate and assist manufacturers to
carry on successfully any expert
ments they desire to undertake In
the manufacturers of their products
for which the manufacturer sha pay
their cost thereof into the state treas
ury; 1t is estimated that THIS depart
ment will be self supporting from this
source alone W thin a few years.
The State Of New Jersey has the
greatest natural researches for cera-
mics In the United States. and not
withstanding it's great resources, it is
far behind other states in equipment.
The State College was estabf shed IN
an old building uesd as q stable, In
1902 at a cost to the state of $4,000
and there has been an appropriation
for building since that time.
The state of Ohio constructed
buildings for experimental purposes
and ceram cs and the state of Penn
sylvania constructed buildings for a
like purpose.
Because of the state aid given. the
two states have resulted in a great
development of the ceramics which
produced great to the state
and also employment for many thous-
ands of people.
