OySTERMEN OPPOSE
CONSERVATION TAX
This is the Stand Taken by Many
on the Eastern
Shore.

Ea ston, Md, Feb. 3.-Oystcrmen are
stirred up over the recent visit to this
coun ty of the State Conservation Com
missi on. which visit was made for the
purpose of getting information to sub
stantiate some of the recommendations
made in the commissions report to the
Governor Of the State. An appropri-
a tion of 100000 by the Legislature to
be used in saving the oyster, fish and
crab industry from ruin, ss recommended
in the report, will be strongly opposed
by local oystermcn.
William r. Vsllient. who has LARGE
oyster plant at Bellevue, fwas visited by
the commission. Chairman Vickers while
there said he fully expected opposition
and in away welcomed 1T. II is said by
the commission that natural oyster beds
are being wiped out because the shells
are used in the manufacture of lime and
other industries instead of being put back
on the beds for propagation. For this
reason tax is .reeded with which to buy
shells and seed oysters and to pay the
cost Of planting it was declared
The commission said it was operating
under deficit Of S53 900 year, and
unless the money il is asking is forth
coming the oyster and fish industry will
soon be of little consequence. Mr.. Val
liant was asked bis views. He said:

for the last several years it has been

Virginia can beat us growing oysters
on private beds. Maryland also loses
the revenue on these oysters, rs there arc
not likely to be any tayea paid on them.
III don't think the Taxpayers Of the
State should be burdened with $4,000
to help support the oyster industry. In

main in the saddle for the present.
