§ 1510. Waterfront of respective proprietors; determination of.
The breadth of waterfront appertaining to each littoral proprietor or owner of land abutting on the river bank shall be determined by protracting the line of the land to the bulkhead line established under §§ 1505-1511 of this title, wherever the protraction of the lines would not result in giving the owner more or to any other littoral proprietor less than the owner's proportionate share of frontage on the bulkhead line. In case of a conflict arising from the divergence or convergence of the lines of the littoral proprietors or of the public streets, the Attorney General may settle the lines outside of the river bank so that equal justice shall be done to all concerned.
