ground then under lease shall be valid for that portion under lease. The
application shall state, as nearly as possible, the number of acres applied for
and definite location, with the name of one or more prominent points or objects
adjacent to such ground. It shall be the duty of any resident, firm, or
corporation desiring to obtain a location for planting or propagating oysters to
apply to have the location determined, designated, surveyed, and assigned.
