Oyster beds untaxable by new ruling in New Haven
The board of assessors ruled that owners of oyster farms in the Quinnipiac river will be exempt from tax on their river acreage. The decision follows the local health board finding that oysters can no longer be fattened in the stream, rendering the beds comparatively valueless to owners. About fifteen to twenty oyster farmers along the river will be exempt from taxation on land they control in the riverbed.
