BROWNS OYSTER BILL LAID
OVER FOR FUTURE ACTION
Lacks Sufficient Votes to Insure its
Passage-Some Opposition De-
velops In the Senate

bU GUtt'Gf IOfFtoBDftttC ~
TRENTON, Feb. 17:-Democratic
Leader Brown. of Middlesex, called
for a vote in the senate last night on
his bill to restore oyster beds in
Raritan river, Staten Island sound
and Newark bay to the general pub
lie, but the measure was laid over
because X lacked sufficient votes to
insure its passage.
Senator Brown charged that the
present law places the control of
oyster fishing industry In the hands
of two corporations to the exclusion
of private fishermen and also charged
that a commissioner Of the State Blu
reau Of Shell Fisheries is Interested
In one Of the two corporations low in
control. Senator Reeves, of Cumber-
land, opposed the bill because he said
the corporations had expended con-
siderable money in the development
of the oyster beds and 1t would be an
Injustice to them to adopt such q
measure as the Brown bill.
