An Act authorizing the conveyance of certain commonwealth property to the town of Sherborn.
|
Whereas, the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to provide for the transfer of certain water rights to the town of Sherborn, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the
same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance in consultation with the commissioner of the department of mental health shall grant, convey and deed over, without consideration, to the town of Sherborn all rights, title or other real property interests that the commonwealth may hold as a result of chapter 251 of the Acts of 1897 and chapter 466 of the Acts of 1908, to the waters of Farm Pond in the town of Sherborn, the tributaries of such Farm Pond, and to a certain easements together with a pipeline from said Pond running underground within the town of Sherborn, to the boundary between the town of Sherborn and the town of Medfield, heretofore used to convey such waters to the now closed Medfield State Hospital, for the town of Sherborn to have and to hold, for public recreation, water supply and fire protection purposes.
SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
