With the beginning of the oyster
season war has been reopened on >:s
t'-r beds Infected with the colon
bacilli. Taking of bivalves from
grounds found on Inspection to ba
affected will not be permitted.
Acting in Co* iperatlon w'th the
state lieaith Department, the Dairy
and Food Department last Beuson
practi ally closed several oystci fields.
Tie Inspectors not only took sample
oysters from all a>oas which might d?
tduched by sewerage tr>n? the cities
of Norflok, Portsmouth. Newport News
and 1 lampion, but also took bottles
of water from aver the beds. The
theory was that even If tin; oysters
themselves were found to be tritt from
bacilli, tiny might become Infected at
any moment from the surrounding
water. The presence ?f colon bacilli
presents tho ev or-iooming danger of the
typhoid germ.
Ail samples were inspected by State
Bacteriologist Me?de Ferguson and a
scientist of the United Stales Public
Health S'-rvlee. It was found that the
colon bacilli existed In Certain waters
ubout Hampton Roads, notably the
Elizabeth Itlver. Hampton Creek and
Mill Creek.

future.
The Inspectors will go tj work again
at or.ee on the proposition. .More
samples will b.; taken in areaa capable
of Infection from centres of population.
Plant be-ls found with the bacilli are
not necesarlly a total loss, since the
oysters can be taken tip and removed
to other places where the water is not
polluted. The bacilli leaves the oys
