Whereas, Thompson Orphanage and Training Institution owns certain property fronting on North Drive in the City of Goldsboro, Wayne County, North Carolina, adjacent to a site owned by the Goldsboro City Board of Education; and

Whereas, Thompson Orphanage and Training Institution by virtue of a deed recorded in Book 624, page 429 in the Wayne County Registry, has a private easement over, upon and across that certain 60-foot strip of land owned by the Board and lying immediately south of and adjacent to the land owned by Thompson Orphanage and Training Institution for its full depth of 400 feet; and

Whereas, at the time said easement was granted it was contemplated that the easement area would become a public street; and

Whereas, the plan to make said easement area a public street has been abandoned; and

Whereas, Thompson Orphanage and Training Institution has proposed to convey and release to the Goldsboro City Board of Education all of its right, title, interest and estate in and to the southernmost 40 feet of said easement area provided the Goldsboro City Board of Education will convey to it the fee simple title to the northernmost 20 feet of said easement area; and

Whereas, the Goldsboro City Board of Education has adopted a resolution declaring that the northernmost 20 feet of that certain 60-foot easement area described in a deed recorded in Book 624, page 429 in the Wayne County Registry, is unnecessary for public school purposes; Now, therefore,
