Chap. 165.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 3257 of the Code of Vir-
ginia and to repeal section 3163 of the Code of Virginia. [H B 270]
Approved March 11, 1922.
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion thirty-two hundred and fifty-seven of the Code of Virginia be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Sec. 3257. Baylor survey; surveying and resurveying planting
grounds and marking lines—The survey or surveys of the natural
oyster beds, rocks and shoals of the Commonwealth, made in pur-
suance of an act of the general assembly of Virginia, entitled an act
to protect the oyster industry of the Commonwealth, which act was
approved on the twenty-ninth day of February, eighteen hundred
and ninety-two, and acts amendatory thereof, or supplemental thereto,
shall, until otherwise provided by law, continue to be held in all
respects to be the survey or surveys defining and determining the
natural oyster beds, rocks and shoals of the Commonwealth; and
surveys and reports filed in accordance with the acts aforesaid shall be
construed in all the courts of the Commonwealth to be conclusive evi-
dence of the boundaries and limits of all the natural oyster beds, rocks
and shoals lying within the waters of the counties wherein such sur-
veys and reports are so filed, and further, that there are no natural
oyster beds, rocks or shoals lying within the waters of the counties
wherein such reports and surveys are filed other than those embraced
in the surveys authorized by the acts aforesaid.
The commission of fisheries is hereby authorized and empowered
to select and appoint, on such terms as may be agreed upon, any
surveyor, or surveyors, to survey, or re-survey, any oyster planting
grounds, either in his own or any other county, and to re-establish
and permanently mark any line or lines of the said Baylor survey,
of natural oyster rocks, which, in the judgment of the commission of
fisheries, it may be necessary to define; or an application may be
made to the commission of fisheries by ten citizens of the county
to have any line or lines of the Baylor survey re-established and per-
manently marked, provided a bond and security be given to the
commission of fisheries that the applicants will pay all costs for
surveying and marking; and, provided further, that ten days’ notice
of such survey shall be given to all parties whose legal oyster tenures
might be directly affected thereby; and if it should turn out that it
was not necessary, in the opinion of the commission, to have said
line or lines re-established, then all costs of the survey and marking
shall be borne by the applicants ; but if it shall appear that the Baylor
survey had been encroached upon, then the cost shall be borne by
the commission of fisheries and the bond given be void.
2. Section thirty-one hundred and sixty-three of the Code of
Virginia is hereby repealed.
3. An emergency existing, this act shall be in force from its
passage.
