546 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Mar. 1.
With recommendation that said bill be referred to
the Committee on Ways and Means.
Bill so referred.
Mr. Thompson, from the Committee on Chesapeake
Bay and its Tributaries, reported favorably,
House bill entitled an Act to repeal sections 2, 5, 11,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 20 A, 21, 28, 33 ana 34, of
Article 72, of the Code of Public General Laws, title
"Oysters," and to re-enact the same with amend-
ments, and to add new sections to said Article.
Together with the accompanying explanatory
REPORT:
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen
of the House of Delegates :
With yonr permission I report back printed bill No.
144 for a second reading, and submit a statement of
the duties and labors performed in the committee
room.
The bill herewith reported amending and providing
for the proper execution of the laws in force relative
to the taking and culling of oysters, is not the work
of any one man nor of any body specially interested
in this behalf ; but is the result of careful examina-
tion on the part of the committee of all bills or sug-
gestions that have come before us, in which the en-
deavor has been to adopt all of the best and eliminate
all of the worst or most objectionable features of each
respective bill or suggestion, and to form therefrom a
bill that will with impaitiality equally tend to the
preservation of all the different interests involved.
Several bills, as you are aware, have been introduced
and referred to the Committee on Chesapeake Bay and
Tributaries; the bill herewith reported is the outcome
of our labors. The chairman, in presenting this bill
would illy and ungraciously perform his duties if he
should fail to make proper recognition of the labor
and care of the respective members of this committee,
who have untiringly considered all of its provisions
and with practical oyster men or with those whose
familiarity from contiguity to the oyster grounds has
given them knowledge of the practical requirements
