This new Tidewater bill which goes into effect January 1, 1925, provides for the leasing of all state-owned oyster grounds at rent al charges and under conditions to be fixed by the Board. Dr. Galt zoff’s survey will include a biologi cal analysis of the waters all along the coast as well as an examination of the bottom sand surrounding con ditions. This will not only enable the Tidewater Commissioner to know (the waters and grounds best suited for oyster culture, but will like wise afford him a basis for fixing the relative rental fees, according to Mr. Twitty.
