	8. "All laws and regulations which may be necessary
	for the preservation of fish, or for the performance of
	quarantine, in the river Potowmack, or for preserving
	and keeping open the channel and navigation thereof, or
	of the river Pocomoke within the limits of Virginia, by
	preventing the throwing out ballast, or giving any other
	obstruction thereto, shall be made with the mutual con
	sent and approbation of both states."

	nals shall be erected and maintained at the expense of
