Emergency Preamble

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to authorize forthwith the commonwealth, acting by and through its department of transportation to take certain easements for highway purposes, to support the intersection improvement project being undertaken by the commonwealth at the intersection of Cambridge road at South Bedford street and Bedford road in the city of Woburn and the town of Burlington, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
