license shall not be transferable and if used on any sneak boat other
than the one for which it was issued said license shall be confiscated

sub-heading. Said license shall only be valid during the legal open

person obtaining a license to exhibit the same whenever called upon

see the same.

Each and every applicant for such license shall make oath before
the Clerk of the Court authorized to issue the same that he is a bona
fide resident of this State and that he will not employ on a gunning
rig any person except a bona fide resident of this State and that he
will comply with all the provisions of the law regulating the hunting
of wild water fowl in the territory designated as the Flats, and every
person to whom such license may be granted shall be required to paint
the name or number of the sneak boat on some prominent part thereof
