authorize forthwith conveyance of certain land in the city of Revere,

necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,

general shall prepare a report of his review of the methodology utilized for
