The state bill cites tfie Great Lakes in definite inland waters subject to state control. Division of Revenues The federal bill would leave the division of revenues up to Con gress. The state measure would give the states 62Vi: per cent and the federal government 3714 per cent of revenues from tidelands within state jurisdiction, not in cluding bays and harbors. From the three mile-limit (10 V« rtiiles from Texas) to the outer edge of the continental shelf the lease revenues would be divided equally.
