man, S. Wilkins Matthews secretary,
Geo. B. Keezell, Bland Massie and
Rorer A. James, We're in session We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday last at
Atlantic Hotel, Norfolk. 1t was a busy
session and the first for the newly APP
pointed Board. About four hundred
persons attended the meetings, the
largest since the Board was created
eight years ago.
The Board decided to defer action on
the cases of 81 Warwick county oyster
planters, charged with infringement
upon the Baylor survey grounds, until
next month, owing to absence of plats,
conflict of surveys and a desire for
further investigation.
The Board fixed on Wednesday after
the second Monday in each month for
monthly meetings, these meetings to
alternate between Norfolk and Hamp-
ton. The next meeting will be held at
Hampton May 16.
No action was taken in respect to
captains and crews of steamers. A
new boat is expected shortly and prob
ably few changes will then be made.
The Board decided that Captains should
give bond in the sum of 81, 900 each, as
they are entrusted with collecting fines.
Heretofore they have given no bond.
Inspectors were directed to see that
the law as to scraping private grounds
is carried out to the letter. Wilhelm
spectors are expected to see that the
Gull law and other laws are observed,
even outside of their own districts, they
are enjoined from assigning ground or
issuing licenses within another's terri
tory.
Changing the lines in Lancaster, Nor
cumberland and York counties was
left to the Chairman.
