that a watch house could be- located in
any shoai watei, and concluded that
by establishing one at the extreme
scuthe astefly end of Browns shoai
and drawing a straight line, instead
Of a crooked one. II would be possible
to operate the watch house policing
system and at the same time include
within the survey that part OF the
natural rock proposed 20 be thrown
out
Admitting that Mr.. Lees watch
house sites are the only available and
suitable ones. shis spaper is inclined
to agree with Delegate J. e. West. OF
Nansemond county, Ia the belief that
II is not necessary to break the Bay
lor survey In order to establish the
proposed system. AS Mr.. West sug-
gests, the watch houses could police
the grounds within the new Lee lines
thoroughly. and give those outside
such attentisn as possible.
Finally, Mr.. Lee disputes our con-
tcntiGn that the Byrd bill is unconsti-
tHtlonal. He holds. as did The Nor
folk Landmark few days ago. that
the clause In section IFS of the con-
stitution authorizing the assembly to
determine" the boundaries OF the
natural rocks, permits the re-arrange-
ment Of the Baylor lines so as 10 rut
productive natural rock outside of the
reserve lines. This argument was
here Sunday. II seems very
plain to us that II the makers of the
had contemplated having
productive natural oyster rock put
outside of the boundary and leased to
private planters, they never would
have written 1.-The natural oyster
have written 1.-The natural oysterf beds,
rocks and shoals In the rivers Of the
state shall not be rented. leased CT
sold but shall be held In trust for
the benefit OF the people OF the State"
As was said here Sunday. II the leg
islators have the power 10 cut out
out productive natural rock in the
process OF determining" boundaries,
the whole section iss null aud void.
II the four thousand acres Of rock cut
out by the Byrd bill can be put out
side legally. then the lines can be
contracted so as to eliminate forty
thousand acres without violating the
constitution. ~
