Governor Addresses Oyster Policy and Rural Roads
Virginia Governor argues for expanded oyster grounds protection and a major state road program to boost immigration, commerce, and farm prosperity. He details measures against dredging invasions, proposes court oversight of licenses, and urges stronger militia support and insurance regulation to shield citizens and economies. He cites past conflicts with Maryland, calls for better highways, and defends military use to preserve order and prevent violence among workers and residents.
