Central High School. Gov
Faubus said:
Those problems Ill have tc
take care Of when ! get home.
This reply was considered
significant. Aside from the fact
that he cannot legally take
executive action while out Of
his State, he might consider II
politically unwise to announce

that could be unpopular with
some Of his constituents.

night said q leading legal

denied that the Governor
would be unable to issue or

To costs Of the oyster wal

Heavy Expenditures
Virginia. in the 1856 fiscal year
spent $298,543 on inspection and
policing Of oyster grounds. Mary
land spends nearly three times
that on its much larger force OF
men and boats. All Of this can
not, Of course, be attributed tc
the Potomac, but administrators
agree that peace on the border
river would cut expenditures.
Dredgers may pay as much as
SIS 1000 for the river hot-rods that
scoot away from pursuing patrol
boats. Without the need for that
speed, oystermen say, o $500
boat would do the job.
A loss that can't be measured
in dollars but which may be as
important as the o1Sers. accord
Ing to industry xieeikers. is the
gradual shifting % Bther oyster
producing areas of possible
markets for the unharvested
oysters.
These losses are the major
argument Of Virginia-based
oystermen who refuse to stop
dredging in the Potomac. Some
say that If the ban were obeyed
their incomes would be cut by
one-half or more.
What. then, are the reasons
for the anti-dredging law? They
are as varied as those for the

historical and social.

However, any proposal for q
