Whereas , The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to convey forthwith certain land in the city of Medford, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, 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, as follows:

SECTION 1.

The parcel is shown as Parcel 35A on a plan of land entitled "Plan of Land in Medford, Mass.

SECTION 3. No deed conveying the property described in section 1 by or on behalf of the commonwealth shall be valid unless the deed provides that the property shall not be used in a manner which will adversely impact the adjacent park property retained by the commonwealth and under the care, custody and control of the department of conservation and recreation.
