PLENTIFUL OYSTER
HARVEST EXPECTED
Expected Up Potomac as Far
as Riverside-Prices to
Be Higher.

Although oysters are expected TO
be plentiful the coming season,
which opens September l. they will
not be cheap, the present indications
are.
Oyster dealers at the municipal
market. foot of 11th street, already
are dickering for supplies of blvalves
early in the season. They confidently
expect a reasonably large supply of
oysters September l. the size of ship
ments depending largely upo1 wealth
er conditions.
Several dealers have handled small
quantities of oysters throughout the
summer season. and one dealer re-
ported he expected shipment Of them
tomorrow morning. Practically every
dealer VIII have small supply on
hand the opening day Of the season
Predict Large supply.
Local dealers familiar with oyster
culture predict that oysters. will be
plentiful the approaching season. Dry
weather early in the summer they
state, was of great help to the oyster
crop.
Rains later in the season did little
damage. 1t is believed there will be
oysters taken from the river as high
up as Haks Nest. in the vicinity OF
salt as far up the river as Nanjemoy
stores. These upper river beds, 1t Is
stated, probably will be held in re-
serve and will not be touched until
after January 1.
Two years ago the water was salty
enough for oysters in the vicinity OF
Riverside. 1T is stated. due to the con-
tinued dry weather, and it is believed
that similar condition exists this
year.
Brought Over Roads.
Good roads and motor truck trans
portation has resulted in largely de-
creasing the oyster trade at the river
front. Until recent years. 1t is stated
practically all the oysters brough,
here were landed at the foot of 11th
street southwest, the exception being
the barrel stock brought by train and
steamers from the vicinity Of Nor
folk and an occasional shipment OF
of New York oysters.
Now thousands of gallons of shuck-
ed oysters are brought here over the
good roads in trucks. Dealers say
their quality is not as good as is thai
of fresh stock. but truckers find ready
sale of them at from 5 to 10 cents
a gallon cheaper than dealers car
afford to sell them here.
Truckers from the oyster region:
pay no license to sell in this city, II
is stated: while local dealers are re-
quired to pay such licenses. The
question of requiring license of then
was brought to the attention of the
authorities by Superintendent Noyes
of the Municipal market, but no ac-
ton looking to collecting the license
tax has been taken.

Blanche Neff, clerk of the Municipal

mandamus recently issued against

Miss Neff points out that the rules

return of deposits for jury trials only
when notice in writing is given five
days before the date set for the jury
trial. Attorney Andrew Y. Bradley,
for Bolls, failed to give the required
