    § 77. Notice  of application therefor.  Every applicant for a grant of
  land under water  shall,  previous  to  his  application,  cause  notice
  thereof   to  be  published  at  least  once  a  week  for  four  weeks,
  successively, in a newspaper printed in the county in which the land  so
  intended  to  be  applied  for  is  situated,  unless the said lands are
  situated wholly or in part in a city or village  where  a  newspaper  is
  published  then  such notice shall be published in such newspaper; and a
  copy of such notice to be posted for the same period upon  the  door  of
  the court house of such county or at such other place in or at the court
  house  as  is  generally  used  for the posting of legal notices, and if
  there be no court house in the county, at such place as the commissioner
  directs. The aforementioned four-week period shall be a full  period  of
  twenty-eight  days. In cities having a population of one million or more
  inhabitants, the applicant for a grant comprising ten thousand  or  more
  square  feet  shall also serve personally, or by registered or certified
  mail, a written notice containing  a  description  of  such  land  under
  water,  together  with  the  name and address of the applicant, upon all
  owners of waterfront land  within  three  hundred  feet  from  the  side
  boundaries  of the upland of the applicant.  For purposes of identifying
  such owners of waterfront land, the latest completed assessment roll may
  be used in lieu of title search.  The  applicant  shall  file  with  the
  commissioner  proof of service of such notice at least twenty days prior
  to the date of application. However for the purposes of jurisdiction and
  the validity of any grant issued under this section, the  commissioner's
  finding  that the notice requirements of this section have been complied
  with is final and conclusive.
