Excerpt from Annual Report of the Comptroller of the Treasury Department: For the Fiscal Year Ended Sept; 30th, 1869, to the General Assembly of Maryland Chapter 406 of the acts of 1868, regulating the taking or catching of oysters in the waters of the State, is imperfect, as all laws heretofore enacted on this subject have proved. It needs material amendment. Or alteration, but as my successor is perfectly familiar with its operations, he may deem it proper to make this a subject of special communication.
