What reading level is Report Upon the Oyster Resources of Maryland, to the General Assembly book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This dredging business in the Chesapeake, where a comfortable anchorage can he resorted to in a few moment^, when desired, is much more remunerative than that of the Cod and Mackerel catchers, who risk their lives and their all, and frequently lose them, afar off the coast of New England, for months, duriug the stormy season, and many nights anchored on the ocean, with the sea breaking over them from stem to stern.
And surely, then, in Maryland a superior class of men cannot allege their hardsh...ips in the Oyster trade as a reason for not increasing the price of a license.
I would recommend that a tax be imposed on the carrying trade, both ashore and afloat. Virginia has long been col- lecting such a tax, thus almost doubling her revenue from Oysters.
I quote from her Inspector's regulations, under the law : "All persons shipping or forwarding Oysters by any ves- sel impell ed by ste am, or by railroad, or by express compa- nies, shall first pay to the nearest Inspector the tax of three cents per bushel on all Oysters so to be shipped or for- warded " Fine for neglect of this regulation "not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars." "Any person desiring to catch Oysters may, if he thinks proper, pay the sum of three dollars per ton on his vesssl, for a license to carry Oysters for one year.
