464 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 222

All applications shall be given priority in the order in
which they are received, except that for a period of thirty
days after the effective date named in said notice priority
rights shall extend to any bona fide owner or occupant of a
planted area in any of these waters.

After said thirty days have elapsed, any resident of Wor-
cester County shall have prior right over all other appli-
cants for a period of thirty days.

No assignment or transfer of any interest acquired by
this sub-title shall be valid for any purpose if made to a non-
resident of this State, a corporation or joint stock company.
If any such assignment is attempted to be made, or if any
assignment of any interest created by this sub-title is at-
tempted to be made, in such a way that the assignee shall
become the holder of more than fifty acres, all interest of
the grantor or assigner shall revert to the State as if no
lease had ever been made.

Provided, however, that the Conservation Commissioner
shall not act upon any application, or execute any lease of
oyster bottom, in that part of Chincoteague Bay lying south
of a line drawn from the mouth of Tanhouse Creek (as
shown on Conservation Department Chart No. 2 on file in
the office of the Clerk of the Court of Worcester County),
thence running due east to the beach on the eastern side of
Chincoteague Bay above Sugar Point, until he shall deter-
mine that the salinity of the waters therein is sufficient to
warrant the leasing of oyster bottoms, but in no event shall
the leasing of oyster bottoms in said waters be delayed or
suspended beyond June 1, 1937.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall
take effect June 1, 1935.

Approved May 17, 1935.
