Potomac Commission

mission on the Potomac River Basin

ington today with technical data
that may eventually mean an in-
crease in the supply of fish and
oysters for the District and other
large Ea stern markets.
Commission members and their
guests, comprising more than a
dozen technical experts, left here
by boat this morning after devot-
ing most of yesterday to study
of fishin ng conditions.
Only Two Polluted Areas.
Chairman L. Harold Sothoron,
Maryland State Senator from Prince
Georges County, said the commits
sion was convinced pollution of the
Potomac waters is not major fac
tor In the reduced oyster catches Of
recent years. &
Except for two local areas along
the river, he said, the water is gen.
orally clear and conducive to the de-
velopment of marine life. These
areas he located around Indianhead,
Md, and in the upper oyster beds
of the Potomac, a few miles above
the MorgantoWn Bridge
Commission members agreed that
it would be virtually impossible to
wipe out pollution in these areas.
They explained that deposits from
communities along the river settle
over the oyster beds at these points
and suffocate the oysters.
Resources Not Used.
An important factor in the de-
clining fishing industry. the commits
sion said, is the fact that fishermen
are not using their resources to the
fullest degree.
! Edwin Warfield, chairman of the
Department of Tidewater Fisheries
of Maryland, said only about 10 per
cent of the fishing resources in the
Potomac are being used. He pro-
posed an educational program
through the public schools to teach
proper conservation methods.
Edwin R. Cotton, secretary of the
commission, said the Technical
Committee, which is a part of the
commission, plans to meet in Wash
ington in about two months, to work
out problems brought up at the
three-day meeting. In the mean
time, he said, further studies will be
made, especially in relation to the
diminishing fishing industry.
