95 
oyster cases in Talbot, St. Mary’s, Calvert, Charles and Anne 
Arundel counties between May and September of this year. 
The use of the steamer “Governor McLane” was discontinued, 
September 15, 1915, and the crew paid off. The fall work of sur- 
veying scattering oyster lots was done by sending the Assistant 
Engineer, who hired a local boat while in the locality of the work. 
A number of the leases, following the surveys, were drawn and 
sent out from the office for signature of applicants to date. 
The following is a summary of oyster lot work, adjustments, 
etc., during the years 1914 and 1915:
