half of the amounts paid in by the buyers, as provided in Sec-
tion 69, to the credit of a fund to be known as a "Natural
Oyster Bed Re-Shelling Fund."

120. It shall be the duty of the Board of Shell Fish Com-
missioners to take such measures as in their judgment shall
seem best calculated to increase the productivity of the natural
oyster beds or bars of the State, and the expense of so doing
shall be paid out of the Natural Oyster Bed Re-Shelling Fund,
upon requisition made by the Board of Shell Fish Commission-
ers, endorsed by the Comptroller of the State.

121. For the purpose of performing the duties imposed
upon the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners, by Section 120,
they shall employ a superintendent of natural oyster beds, at
a salary of f 100.00 per month, beginning April 1st, and end-
ing September 30th, payable monthly, and it shall be the duty
of such superintendent, under the direction of the Board of
Shell Fish Commissioners, to give personal supervision to the
work of re-shelling the natural oyster beds, done by the order
of the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners.

122. That the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners shall
purchase from the lowest responsible bidder, shall at such
places and in such quantities as they mad need for the pur-
pose of re-shelling the natural beds, and in inviting proposals
for such shells they may prescribe that the shells shall be de-
livered to the superintendent of natural beds, or to his order,
at some convenient place for the shipment of the said shells, or
they may require that the said shells shall be delivered by the
sellers thereof on such particular natural bed or beds as the
Commission may then be engaged in re-shelling, and may re-
quire the seller of such shells to distribute them under the di-
rection and control of the superintendent of natural beds. If
they shall buy such shells to be delivered otherwise than on
the natural beds, the Board of Shell Fish Commissioners shall
have the power to cause the said shells to be taken from the
place at which they are delivered to the said superintendent
of natural beds to the said natural beds, and to cause the
said shells to be there, under the superintendent, or the super-
intendent of natural oyster beds, properly distributed on the
