OYSTER TONG|NG SEASON
FORMALLY ENDS TODAY

The season for longing for oysters
within the waters of the State for
mally comes to a close today, and a
feet of some 5000 vessels of all de-
scriptions will cease the operations in
which they have been engaged since
early last fall. In most cases the
oystermen have enjoyed fairly prof
ital le season, according to reports
from the offices OF the State Conser-
vation Commission.
The total catch during the season
including dredging and scraping as
we'll as longing, it is estimated, will
he 100000 to 100000 bushels less than
last year. This is based upon an an
ticipated drop Of between $4,000 and
$1,000 in oyster tax receipts. Collec-
tions this month, however, have been
we'll in excess of those for last April
Last year the oyster catch was ap-
proximately 5,0o9,000.

PAN AMERICAN Y

Delighted With All They Saw
500 Delegates And Their
Friends Were Enthusiastic
Over Hospitable Reception

VOTE OF THANKS TO
RITCHIE AND WILSON

"Woman Triumphant" might well
have been the motto blazoned on the
flag that fioated from the dome of the
State House in honor of the 500 or
more women visitors who took the
town by storm yesterday afternoon.
They came, they saw-ands they
were conquered. Yes, the modern
woman proved definitely, at least, to
the complete satisfaction of the resi-
dents OF Annapolis, that armed with
the vote, and burning to reconstruct
the world, she, like her sister of an
earlier era, simply couldn't resist the
charms of brass buttons and a mill
tary band.
1t made no difference that the MEM
bers of the local committee pleaded
that they were already behind time,
that certain plans had been made for
them, that it might be rude to keep
their hosts waiting-all was in vain !;
the visitors couldn't, and didn't, tear
themselves away from Worden Field
as long as there was any parade to
see
The automobiles waited patiently at
Oklahoma Gate, and finally when the
last note of music died away the dele
gates, radiant with enthusiasm,
poured into town to complete their
round of festivities.
They toured the city and were
charmed with everything about it. the
old English brick in the colonial
houses making an especial appeal to
them-"Fancy bringing it out in
those small ships," said one delighted
English delegate.

NEW REGULATIONS ON
TRAFFIC ALSO o. KID.

With only one dissenting vote,
the City Council in special scs-
sion last night, passed the milk
regulation ordinance applicable
to the city. The measure had
been gotten into final shape fol-
lowing several conferences of a
committee to which the matter
had been referred, and although it
evoked additional discussion
upon final passage, only one
amendment of any importance
was tackled on to it. This was
to change the date of the ordi-
nance becoming effective, from
July / of this year to January [
of next year. Alderman John
Russell of the Fourth Ward was
the single opponent to the ordi-
nance.
ChampiOned BY Rotary Club
Adoption of the ordinance means a
big step forward in insuring protec-
ton to the milk furnished consumers
Of the city, and the achievement Cf
the goal for which number of citi-
zens, led by the united support
of the Rotary Club, set out to reach
several months ago, and it represents
he consummation of much careful
study. And its passage meets with
general approval in all quarters.
New Traffic Law Approved
With the milk question settled. the
Council then took up the ordinance
embodying new traffic regulations for
al vehicles operating over the city
streets Considerable discussion fol-
lowed on this question, particularly
as regards parking areas on certain
streets, and the result was that sew
eral amendments of a minor ma
ture were made. Alderman Russell
also stoutly opposed the traffic law.
The main provisions of this ordinance,
as finally adopted, are:
Provisions OF Ordinance
"A vehicle is parked within the
meaning of the ordinance when it is
left unattended by an authorized
driver or licensed operator
"No parking shall be permitted on
portions of the streets indicated by
the Mayor, Counselor and Aldermen
of the City of Annapolis. but the
Mayor. Counselor and Aldermen OF
the City of Annapolis, may. in its dis
cretion, grant permits to private per-
sons to erect mo parking signs in cer-
tain designated places. such signs to
have the same force and effect as if
erected by the Mayor. Counselor and
Aldermen of the City of Annapolis.
