                  Act of May 10, 1927, P.L. 883, No. 450              Cl. 50
                                  AN ACT

     Authorizing the board of trustees of Harrisburg State Hospital
        to convey certain lands, or rights of way over lands, owned
        or acquired by it, or in the name of the Commonwealth of
        Pennsylvania for it, in or near the City of Harrisburg,
        Pennsylvania, and to acquire other lands or rights of way in
        exchange therefor, and to agree upon the compensation for so
        doing, in connection with the opening of a parkway from
        Reservoir Park in the City of Harrisburg to Wildwood Park in
        the same city.

        Whereas, The board of trustees of Harrisburg State Hospital,
     or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, whichever may be the legal
     owner, has purchased and acquired lands in the name of the said
     board, or in the name of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
     however the same may be, which are now used as a site, or parts
     of a site, for the Harrisburg State Hospital at Harrisburg,
     Pennsylvania; and
        Whereas, The City of Harrisburg is desirous of opening a
     parkway from Reservoir Park to Wildwood Park, both in the same
     city, and, in so doing, it will be necessary to pass through
     certain of the said lands, and no power exists in the said city
     to open the said parkway through the said lands, and no power
     exists in one to grant permission or convey the same or
     negotiate the terms and conditions for so doing; now, therefore,
        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That the board of trustees of
     the Harrisburg State Hospital, acting through its president and
     secretary, be and the same is hereby authorized and empowered to
     negotiate with the City of Harrisburg for the opening of the
     parkway proposed by the said city from Reservoir Park to
     Wildwood Park, in the same city, and to agree upon the terms,
     conditions, limitations, and damages for so doing, and, an
     agreement being reached, to grant and convey the rights required
     for so doing, taking in exchange therefor such sum of money as
     damages, or such other lands, or such other consideration, as
     the said board of trustees may determine.
